Interesting concept. You could also have to do things to avoid uprisings. A slavery simulator game that covers the globe would be interesting although I’ve heard certain parts of Africa and Central America were extremely brutal to slaves
In the Republic of the Congo, where Pygmies make up 2% of the population, many Pygmies live as slaves to Bantu masters. The nation is deeply stratified between these two major ethnic groups. The Pygmy slaves belong to their Bantu masters from birth in a relationship that the Bantus call a time-honored tradition. A 2007 news report stated that even though Pygmies are responsible for much of the hunting, fishing and manual labor in jungle villages, "Pygmies and Bantus alike say that Pygmies are often paid at the master's whim: in cigarettes, used clothing, or even nothing at all."[42] As a result of pressure from UNICEF and human-rights activists, in 2009, a law that would grant special protections to the Pygmy people was awaiting a vote by the Congo parliament.[42][43] According to reports made in 2013, this law was never passed.[44]In 2022, after decades of facing these conditions and working to get legal protections for the Pygmies, a group of 45 indigenous organizations successfully petitioned the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) government, and the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Indigenous Pygmy Peoples, the first legislation in the country that recognizes and safeguards the specific rights of the Indigenous pygmy peoples, was signed into law.[45]
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, during the Ituri conflict, Ugandan-backed rebel groups were accused by the UN of enslaving Mbutis to prospect for minerals and forage for forest food, with those returning empty handed being killed and eaten.
I had heard that along with the fact that surging slaves in Africa had it pretty bad and if you were going to be a slave it was better to be one in America

That one I didn’t know about. Thanks
They should make a Liberia DLC so they can tout having a black MC.
Honestly if someone had the guts to do it, that would make for a great mini series. Former slaves move to Liberia and oppress and enslave the locals.
