However, it was not officially banned in constitution following the dissolution of the royal family but has not been used since Mahana became a republic in 1992. | |
Seylos | Since Founding | 1964 | 1964 | Capital punishment was abolished in 1964 following large scale protests of a brutal botched execution of a political prisoner. | |

Executions typically happen in private; though if there is significant public outrage due to the nature of the crime, a judge may permit an execution to be carried in public in order for citizens witness justice carried out. | |
Sunset Sea Islands | Since Founding | 1947 | 1947 | Capital punishment was abolished in 1947 following the liberation from the oppressive regime of Mat Troi Lan. | |

Variota | 1757 | 2016 | N/A | A law change in 1757 limited capital punishment to those that were found guilty of particularly heinous crimes such as piracy, terrorism, treason and large amounts of murder and/or rape, be they human or animal. Generally, however, these criminals are sentenced to max security 'werklaaghers', where they are forced to toil for the benefit of the entire nation, instead of receiving capital punishment as it is deemed a harsher punishment to work and live in prison until death. |
