Now you're just being deliberately obtuse. That's not what the word "conscription" means, and I'm pretty sure you know that.

You're just being an ass because a year of mandatory service is what the law uses conscription for in Finland, DURING PEACETIME.

In wartime, being unable to leave the country, forced to fight on the front lines, is also conscription.

Conscription, also known as the draft in American English, is the practice in which the compulsory enlistment in a national service, mainly a military service, is enforced by law.

"you cannot leave the country and will be kidnapped and forced to die a horrible death on the front lines"

When done by a state, that is literally still within the definition.
