As I said, LH hasn't really elaborated on his system. It might not even be what we call Slavery at all. We will pass judgement when wee find out the truth. Whereas, you HAVE elaborated your system. And we have passed judgement.
Excerpt from the Legal Code of Renfair: Chapter Eleven, Section 4B:
On the Subject of Slavery Between Consenting Parties:
The State of Renfair does officially recognize the right of one party(henceforth referred to as the "slave") to cede power to another party(henceforth referred to as the "master") in a relationship termed "Slavery" "TPE" "Indenture" or all manner of other terms. Henceforth such a relationship will be referred to as a "Slave Relationship."
To enter a Slave Relationship, first the two parties must acquire a written Consent Form(S) from their local Management Hall. This Form shall contain full queries about:
-Health
-Mental state
-Limits
-Safewords
-Duration of Contract
-Personal Information
As well as any other information deemed necessary by future addendum and laws. The two parties will then return to their residence(s) and study the form, filling it out in all particulars with full honesty and openness. Following such occurrence, they must each produce the signature of not only themselves on the paper, but a witness affirming that they are not coerced and are fully in their right mind.
Upon such requirements being completed, the two parties will then return to the Management Hall and schedule a meeting no sooner than a week after they acquired their Form. In meeting with this Management Official, they will discuss openly the listed medical and psychological information on their Form, as well as the reasons they are moving for a Slave Relationship. If the Management Official deems them Safe, Sane and Consensual, the Duration of the Contract will be mentioned. If all is deemed satisfactory, the Official will provide their signature to the Contract, as well as the date.
The only legally recognized Durations under Renfarian law are these:
-1 month
-3 months
-6 months
-9 months
-12 months
-18 months
-24 months
Any contract stating a different period than these is a
nonbinding and
illegal contract, despite any other information placed upon it. At the conclusion of their specified duration, the two parties must, within forty days, meet with a Management Official to discuss prolonging or nullifying the Contract.
Every period of thirty days, an Inspector will stop by the house and speak privately to both the Slave and the Master to judge whether the relationship remains healthy, and that the two parties remain Safe, Sane and Consensual. In the event that one party expresses a desire to end the Contract, they needs must simply speak their case to the Inspector, and he/she shall determine the course of action to follow.
In the event one party is, through fault of poor observation or foul genius, somehow coerced into this relationship, the fault shall be laid upon the feet of the Management Official and the Master, unless such evidence appears that through circumstances that we cannot predict, the Slave has coerced the Master, in which case they shall be blamed and the Master not. This falls under
Breach of Consent Law, classified as
T7, but for the purposes of this Law a new classification of
T11 has been created to represent
Coercion Into a Slave Relationship. Both are crimes established as sentenced for
5-20 years of imprisonment, and shall be taken atop one another, resulting in a
5-40 year sentence.
There shall be established a Safeword which the Slave can use to end the Slave Relationship at any point. If the Slave invokes this Safeword, then the Master must immediately release them and schedule an appointment with a local Management Official to see about the nullification of the contract. Failure to do so is considered a
T9 offense,
Knowing Ignorance of a Safeword, punishable by a fine of up to ten thousand Kinks and a jail sentence of no longer than
5 years.
In the event the Master wishes to establish Contracts with multiple Slaves, they must all go through this process individually, and each Slave already in contract with the Master must give their free and willing signature to the Contract for a new Slave.
___
Renfair withdraws all its ambassadors and any Renfairian citizens on holiday are urged to leave immediately.
Renfair will cover the cost of the transport of the orphans and their parents, but until they are all safely in San Francisco or Los Angeles we will neither lift the embargo nor compensate you for the damages, to ensure your cooperation. Once they have arrived, we shall do both.
