Hmmm... it wouldn't be circular if we had "levels" of slaves. Imagine you only directly enslaved the people in the level below you, and you were only directly enslaved by the people in the level above you. I think it would still end up circular in places, though, so maybe we should call these "classes" instead.

Not strong slavery. Never mention the word.

But make it so if you didn't play along then you would be cared for if you fell ill. Or you couldn't get food. And you could only level up if you passed the right exams.

Make sure the highest slave owner pays a different kind of tax to the others at a much lower rate.

Make sure ownership can be inherited with relative ease.
