Apolytonia is Great. Truly a marvel.
Our work force is a large reason why we are so great. Would you really want to get rid of nearly 40% of the reason we are so great?
Emancipation is an a front to the Almighty Banana and everything that makes our country great. I choose now to pick up the reigns of where the Immortal Duddha left off with his visionary ARE (Apolytonian Racial Elitists)!!
Additionally, for those that want to spout about multi-cultural diversity, if you intergrate our slave population into our national population, we would loose our cultural diversity as the "freed" slaves would all become Apolytonian. In essence, there are only 50,000 Americans and 130,000 French people left in the entire world. If we "free" these people, we kill the ancient cultures of Abananaba!

Game wise, a move like this would be as smart as the idea Unortho had to change our government back to a Despotism. We currently have 92 native workers and 66 multi-cultural workers (1 Roman, 1 German, 2 English, 3 Greek, 5 American, 8 Babylonian, 13 Persian and 33 French). Intergrate our national workers. We are currently spending 92 LYTONS PER TURN to maintain them. In a little bit, work will be done except for polution clean up. Having 66 workers sitting around doing nothing but cleaning up polution will save us the need to build Recycling Centers and Mass Transit in all our cities (RC cost 2 LPT to maintain and so does MT. Multiply that by the number of cities (48) = 192 LPT) Plus the amount of time and shields that would be needed to combat a problem we already have a solution to.

How can ancient cultures exist while they have no chance to express these in the current circumstances?
No temples, religion, theatre, newspapers, literature for slaves. How can you call their foreign-being to be culture. Culture can only be well developed among free people instead of oppressed!

As Shiber says, we cannot avoid building MTSs and RCs.
About the costs: our national income is 804 Lytons par turn. What in the name of the Great Banana is 92 Lytons par turn? The slave population accounts but to 41,7% of all workers: not the large majority.
When all slaves are freed, we they'll cost us 66 Lytons par turn, when they have been educated to be full workers, that is 8,2% of our current national income!
What on Abananaba are we talking about? 8,2%.
It can be even less if we let a part of them integrate in the societies of the newly conquered cities that have a lack of citizens to build up what was destroyed. They can work on farms in the surrounding area, or enter civil service as a scientist, entertainer or taxman. The last one lets us earn back what we have lost with the freeing of the slaves.
If these amounts are still too much, we can order our FAM by bill to stop import of expensive silks, ivory, or furs.
Financially there is no reason to deny the slaves their freedom.
Think of this: many nations would like to be in such a comfortable position as we are!

Nobody cares bout the slaves, keep em now, let em do our jobs, construct our roads , grow our harvest, dig our mines , when the time come , when there sittin down doin nothing in our cites give them the rights they always wanted , if they cause trouble in the cites back to the work camps they'll go, slavery isnt all that bad , it all depends on how far we go. We shouldnt beat them or kill them. We feed and house them humainly, that should be enough. The govenment owns them as they own the land and the cites. In the end they will make the desion on weather to free them or not but if i ever see and fellow humain being not feed because of their race i will feed them and if they are beatin i will stop their oppressor. I vote for salvery, we just need to do it right.
