'''Pax Drones''' are people from [[Packilvania]] who were
The Drone Policy effectively functioned as a form of a debtors' prison, under which destitute individuals unable to pay a court-ordered judgement - typically to private lending institutions - were incarcerated and subjected to compulsory work regimens, typically in harsh conditions. The product of their labor was used to offset both the costs of their imprisonment and their accrued debt, with some periods of incarceration ranging as high as 21 years. Typically held in large penal colonies in the Packilvanian interior, Pax Drones were used on farms, factories, and construction sites.

== History ==
=== Abolishment and Legacy ===
Pax Drones are legally citizens of [[Packilvania]] however they have sold their labour for a period of 7 to 21 years to creditors due to defaulting on debt. According to the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania|Packilvanian government]], this policy was designed to enabled poor families to accumulate and protect their wealth even if they have fallen on hard times. Indeed, [[Packilvania]] has become one of the wealthiest nations in the world by total assets owned by citizens since the policy was introduced. However, analysts argue that wealth generation in [[Packilvania]] has arisen due to economic growth and high stock prices.
Although Pax Drones are regarded as full citizens of Packilvania, sapient rights activists regard the Drone Policy as a form of state-sponsored slavery. The owner or lessor of a Pax Drone's labour can rent, sell, lease or sublease the labour of a drone to others. Pax Drones have no control over whom they work for and what work they are required to do during the period that they are under this system. Furthermore, their rights are circumscribed and their status is reduced to mere property. Their movement and actions are controlled and dictated by their owners including procreation and romance, eating, hygiene etc. Their owners are entitled to use physical force against them in order to discipline them. Despite some laws to protect Drones form excessive force, the reality is that owners are brutal and often kill Drones without consequences.
