I don't want to be one of those safe, uber-perfect nations that have no social problems whatsoever, and since I'm a Western nation, I also realize that just about every country in the West has had some dark chapter in their history. Should I adopt slavery in my nation for RPing purposes, or should I find something else?

Purely for RP purposes--
While I am opposed to slavery, I think it would add an interesting twist to your RPs, particulary if it culmnated in an civil war. However, using slavery will make you very, very unpopular...
I am not advocating slavery nor will my nation adopt such an practice.

I'm personally against it too, but I need something really shocking to give my nation some sort of character
No, but just for the reason that you'll get run-over by the sheer amount of n00bs who will want to invade you for having slaves. Or at least that's been my experience...

Damn, that's a pain in the ass. Well do you have any other options? I'll give you a little background on my nation, we're a federal republic, largely evangelical Protestant population. Anything else you need to know just ask
As primary spokeperson the Tribal Countries of the Fushal region, I am authorized to respond to this.
It has been the Tribal Gods experience that slavery does not pay. There are two types of slavery. The menial slave and the trained slave. Either way greatly holds back your econopmy and society. The menial slave is the typical agricultural slave. They perform menial task with no training required. In all honesty, machines can perform the actions much more efficiently. This merely proves having slaves in that snese is purely out of hate for the slave population. The trained slave is another case. They require skills to perform there actions. Some could argue that the billions is the capitalistic megaempires are slavers possesing these trained slaves. However, the downside to having skilled slaves is that they have broadened horizons. They realize that they are slaves and can see alternatives. They would constantly be planning escape, rebellion, or even revoultion depending on how large the segment of population they represent.
The ICTC highly recommends finding some other way to spice up the RP. Slavery only gets you trouble.

That's not a bad point, actually. Btw, I don't want slavery either, I hat it as much as all of you do, but I really need something to spice up the national character
If you are careful to phrase your post non-n00bishly & with OOC comments stating that this is just for RP, then any n00bs trying to mob you would probably be met with harsh criticism. Never seen it really tried, though, so no promises.

That could work, but I may also get an OOC reply saying that I made a good RP while IC I'll have my major cities nuked. I may try it though, not sure
