Contemporary slavery is practiced through C''autio'' (Cautio System)''''',''''' the traditional and most widespread form of legal slavery in Caphiria. Under the ''cautio'' system - which is the most regulated and state-controlled - slavery is a complex form of debt bondage: slaves are bound by a "''cautio''," a formal contract that outlines the terms of their servitude. The contract includes specific details about the duration of service, the duties to be performed, and the conditions under which the slave can be emancipated. These borrowers are not legally able to purchase land, allowing this practice to perpetuate across generations. A slaver is known as a ''redemptore'' (contract-holder), and a contractually bound slave is called a ''teneantur'' - literally meaning "one who is bound to." The maximum length of a ''cautio'' contract is five years with a single contract-holder; a ''teneantur'' may enter up to 25 total agreements at once. Most ''teneanturi'' serve as personal retainers and domestic servants, and most receive a small percentage of the taxes upon completion of their contract. To gain freedom, ''teneanturi'' can serve out the time on their contract, purchase it, earn it through military service, or receive it as a favor from the government. | Contemporary slavery is practiced through C''autio'' (Cautio System)''''',''''' the traditional and most widespread form of legal slavery in Caphiria.

An alternative system of slavery known as ''Cautio Imperialis'' (CI system) exists, which is distinct from the traditional ''Cautio'' system and reflects the complex needs of Caphiria’s military-industrial complex and global economic ambition. The CI system is designed to be a modern, regulated form of slavery integrated into Caphiria’s global trade network. The most popular form of this system is the Forum Commercia Servi (FCS), which allows for the trading of bulk ''cautio'' contracts as commodities on specialized exchanges; allowing corporate and government entities to acquire large numbers of slaves efficiently, facilitating the rapid deployment of labor across various sectors. Only a small number of corporate entities are authorized to hold a FCS license, with [[Comandivius]] being the first, oldest, and largest. Comandivius controls approximately 90% of slave trading activities both domestically and internationally.

Despite stringent regulations, illegal or black market slavery persists in Caphiria. This form of slavery operates outside the legal frameworks and is often associated with organized crime. Black market slaves are typically acquired through illicit means and are subjected to harsh conditions, with no legal protections. The government actively combats illegal slavery through rigorous enforcement and severe penalties for those involved in these activities. However, the clandestine nature of black market slavery makes it challenging to eradicate completely. | Despite stringent regulations, illegal or black market slavery persists in Caphiria.
