Slavery in the Flanaess

Okay, I better ask the question. How do you handle slavery in the Flanaess? I know that in Greyhawk it's illegal. I think Zagig Yaergerne outlawed in the City of Greyhawk. However, for much of human existence on Planet Earth it was the norm and not special.

Slavery in the Flanaess, I wonder if it's widespread (not in the Domain of Greyhawk, though). It would definitely be a feature in the Old Kingdom of Aerdy. I don't know if Ivid the Undying had slaves (the Ivid the Undying book mentioned something about having Undead servants as a thing).

So, how do you treat slavery in your games, if you had slavery as a feature at all?

-The humanoids have slavery, including throughout the Pomarj and Bone March, including those where humans predominate. So do the Horned Society and the Land of Iuz.

In human areas, its explicitly mentioned in the Sea Princes (as was an abolitionist movement led by Jeon II). The Amedian slaves became a faction after the SB invasion. Slavery is explicitly mentioned (and detailed) in the Scarlet Brotherhood. I think there was slavery (as well as a slave trade) in the Lordship of the Isles. Plus, slavery would be tolerated in most of the Bandit Kingdoms. I suspect slavery would be allowed in the Great Kingdom, but serfdom is the rule there.
