Line 23:
The Pax Drone policy remained in effect from 1983 to 2022. At its height, it is estimated that some 10 million Packilvanian citizens were designated as Drones. These were almost exclusively drawn from the lowest classes.
The Drone policy was widely criticized by sapient rights activists as a form of state-sponsored slavery. Drones were typically assigned to penal colonies that would then either utilize them on government projects, or else lease their labor out to private industries. Pax Drones had no control over who they worked for or what work they were required to do during their period of imprisonment, which was capped at 21 years. Drones had their movements and actions controlled and dictated in a manner similar to regular prisoners, and were frequently imprisoned alongside hardened convicts and subjected to levels of violence that were commonplace across the Packilvanian prison system. In some instances, Drones were sent to work on projects in foreign nations.

▲=== 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.
