Capital punishment by country

Capital punishment has been formally abolished by statute or constitution   Capital punishment is permitted for specific scenarios   Capital punishment is legal and is used regularly
	Country	Year implemented	Year of last execution	Year abolished	Notes
	Charnea	Antiquity	2021	In Effect	In Charnean tribal society, execution was the most common sentence for a crime. This trend has remained in place through most of Charnean history, with the laws of the Empire of Charnea more formally delineating which transgressions were to be punished with execution and which were not. For the most part, Imperial era patterns have remained in place with a large number of crimes being potentially punishably by execution, although there are very few crimes in which execution is mandatory and thus the decision to execute a convicted person is at the court's discretion. Furthermore, under Charnean law the murder of a person who is known to have committed a capital offense within Charnean borders or against a Charnean citizen or who can be proved to have most likely committed such a capital offense is considered a fair and legal execution, thereby categorizing a small number of annual murders in Charnea as legal executions rather than crimes after due investigation.
	Draakur	1872	2021	In Effect	The death penalty has been a part of the Ottonian justice system since the Federation's founding in 1872, and remains on the books. Since the Ottonian Reaction, the Union of Ottonia has made liberal use of the death penalty, using it against dissidents accused of treason quite frequently, as well as against more conventional violent criminals. Even in the present, the South Ottonian government at the local and national level make fairly frequent use of capital punishment, averaging between 20 to 40 executions per year since 2000.
	Garima	Antiquity	2015	In Effect	Capital punishment is reserved for the most heinous crimes, including treason and murder. The use of capital punishment varies from state to state, with some having had abolished it altogether.
	Garza	Antiquity	2012	2015	Capital punishment was used extensively throughout Garzan history, though in the 20th century the number of executions began to decline. By 2000 executions had become exceedingly rare, with the last execution performed in 2012 before its formal abolition in 2015.
	Gelonia	1950	1986	2003	Capital punishment was introduced by statue enacted in 1950. After successive Labour-led Bodadeg sessions, capital punishment was phased out, with a final ban receiving royal assent in 2003 and all pending executions re-sentenced.
	Ghant	Never	N/A	N/A	The Death penalty was never implemented by the state, as it was historically in violation of the "Old Law" Kontserbazioa. In place of the death penalty, exile and banishment was the preferred "maximum sentence", as this resulted in a life of dishonor. Despite the fact that the state has never had a death penalty, the King / Emperor traditionally had the right to issue "Izugarria Heriotza" (the Horrible Death) on rare occasions. The last such occurrence of Izugarria Heriotza was in 1873, during the Ghantish Civil War.
	Gristol-Serkonos	Antiquity	2012	2015	The concept of capital punishment was common in the independent Kingdom of Gristol and the League of Serkonos. The first recorded use of capital punishment in the unified Gristol-Serkonos was in 1878 with the hanging of serial killer Jökull Ármannsson. Gristol-Serkonos used hanging as the only method used the civilian justice system and execution by firing squad was used solely by the military. The last execution in Gristol-Serkonos was a double hanging of Kwatién:se Lucas and Rahrakwasere Oak-Thompson, the assassins behind the killing of King Anders II Eist in Pontiac-Bernadotte Maximum Security Correctional Facility in 2012. Gristol-Serkonos transitioned to a rehabilitative justice system over punitive justice after the high profile execution. Parliament passed a series of legislation intended for the transition of the justice system. In 2014, Parliament narrowly passed Bill 561 which resulted in the abolition of capital punishment. The military carried the death penalty until 2015 when the Parliament amended Bill 561 eliminating the death penalty for all military offences. After the abolition of the death penalty, prisoner in the former condemned row were given life imprisonment sentences.
	Latium	Antiquity	2020	In effect	The first recorded use of capital punishment in Latium or the Latin Empire was during the reign of the first emperor Augustus; however, capital punishment was common in the preceding Latin kingdom. Capital punishment is limited by imperial prerogative and statutory law, and is typically a punishment handed out for murder, rape, or other grievous crimes against human decency, and crimes against the emperor, ie treason.
	Lihnidos	1861	2017	In Effect	Capital punishment in Lihnidos was officially codified in Lihnidosi law in 1861, although having been used prior to 1861. Capital punishment is still in use in Lihnidos in cases of aggravated murder, rape, and crimes against the state.
	Mniohuta	Antiquity	2022	In Effect	While Mniohuta has gradually transitioned towards rehabilitative justice over punitive justice, execution has existed as a means of punishment in extreme cases since antiquity. Generally speaking capital punishment is only used in instances of terrorism, serial murder, and occasionally in cases of rape. Traditionally alternatives such as exile have been held preferable, but in the modern era this is no longer feasible; thus, capital punishment is generally accepted as the go-to punishment for extreme acts of violence and criminal behaviour even amidst debate over the issue.
	Mutul	Antiquity	2018	In Effect	While there is no official capital punishment in the Mutul, heavy regulations and controls on human sacrifices has given the Mutul a de facto capital punishment in the form of the "Cuxtal Ayel Came" System, also known as "The Question", where the condemned is given the choice between lifetime imprisonment and to be ritually sacrified to a god of their choice, the latter offering some advantages, such as the restitution of all rights and privileges of a "Faithful" (citizen) status, notably to be buried following the proper rites, and for their family to inherit rather than the government seizing all their belongings. The sacrifice is generally done through beheading and is a public event. To be asked the "Question", one must have been found guilty of first degree murder, treason, and certain other select grievous crimes.
	Sudemark	Antiquity	1940	1940	Capital punishment was abolished in 1940, with the last execution carried out that same year on treason charges. Prior to this, capital punishment was reserved for murder, treason and defection during wartime and had been carried out since antiquity.
	Orun Redisus	Antiquity	2021	In effect	Capital punishment is reserved for instances of severe crime. It is rarely used since the opening of Rehabilitation Facilities inside of all major prisons by act of the Assembly. In order to receieve the death penalty, the crime must either be henious enough to warrant it or the prosecution must convince a jury that the defendant is unwilling to be rehabilitated and shows no remorse for their actions.
	Ottonia	1872	2017	2019	The death penalty has been a part of the Ottonian justice system since the Federation's founding in 1872, and remained on the books until 2019. Executions were in decline following the Ottonian Revolution in the northern Ottonian Federal Republic, and since the 1970's decreased even further. In modern times, executions were very rare, averaging one or fewer annually since 2000, reserved exclusively for exceedingly heinous crimes with perpetrators who demonstrate no chance of rehabilitation. However, in 2019, a coalition of human rights campaigns, anarchist groups, and religious advocates managed to secure the passage of an Act of the Folksmoot to abolish capital punishment in Ottonia.
	Sante Reze	Antiquity	1702	1702	A state issuing a penalty of death was rare throughout antiquity in what is now Sante Reze, though extended familial units had the right to implement whatever punishments they deemed necessary to their future health and survival; this often included the execution of dangerous criminals or captives. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries under the Ecclesiastical Republic, capital punishment was instituted as a matter of course with anything potentially rising to its level depending on record and circumstances. The most common executions were for murder, treason, espionage, rape, incest, and crimes against the Church, but it was possible for lesser charges like thievery to end up with the perpetrator slated for death. Capital punishment was abolished with the founding of the Noble Republic in 1702.
	Sydalon	1233	2021	In effect	The death penalty was first imposed by King Jordan I. Since, it has been limited as a possible penalty for murder; treason and crimes against the Crown; terrorism; drug trafficking; war crimes; and espionage. Until 1978, the death penalty was imposed for apostasy.
	Talahara	Antiquity	1905	1910	Capital punishment was abolished in the United Communes of Talahara on the basis that it is beyond the authority of the state to claim the life of one of its own citizens, regardless of the severity of any crime.
	Tyreseia	Antiquity	1947	1950	Capital punishment was abolished for all civil crimes at Tyreseia's inception. The Tyreseian Worker's Navy reserved the right to prescribe execution for treason, sedition and desertion to members of the armed forces, which was a point of contention until the late 1940s. Following the Social War, two soldiers were sentenced to death in absentia by a military tribunal for desertion and treason, which renewed the debate around capital punishment and led to its ultimate abolition in 1950.
	Untsangasar	Antiquity	2022	In Effect	The death penalty remains on the books in Untsangasar, although it is notably not used especially often, largely reserved for offenders who have committed multiple violent or especially heinous crimes, as well as for state offenses such as espionage and treason. In practice, the number of people executed throughout all of Untsangasar is in the single digits annually.
	Vannois	1866	2017	In Effect	Capital punishment is legal in cases of first degree murder, treason, and certain other select grievous crimes.
	Vardana	1960	2019	In effect	Capital punishment was first outlawed in Vardana in 1930; however, the First Republic continued to carry out executions for subversion against the Republic. Laws prohibiting capital punishment were repealed in 1960. In 1995, capital punishment was restricted on the federal level for the crimes of murder, espionage, and subverting the Republic and treason.
	Yisrael	Antiquity	2024	In Effect	Capital punishment has been apart of Jewish law since the Torah was given at Mount Sinai. The death penalty is currently applied to the crimes of murder, rape, terrorism, treason (including mutiny and other high insubordinate acts such as espionage), and other select heinous crimes. Capital punishment was discontinued in the absence of the Sanhedrin between the Latin destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE until the early 1500s CE, when it was properly reconstituted in the Grand Duchy of Yisrael. There are typically several dozen executions conducted a year.
	Wazheganon	Antiquity	1835	1843	Capital punishment has been frowned upon in Wazheganon since at least the 14th century, with the favored punishment for extreme crimes being exile. However, revenge killings and the execution of prisoners of war were notable, common exceptions to this rule. In 1843, capital punishment was formally abolished, with exile into the northern forests becoming the accepted punishment for serious crimes. In 1934, the Gayåshkominis International Exclusion Zone was established in cooperation with Awasin and Mniohuta, intended to contain all future exiles from the three countries in one sustainable island location. Some critics have described this practice as de facto capital punishment, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.
	Zilung Chen	Antiquity	2024	In Effect	Capital punishment has been used in the region that Zilung Chen occupies since antiquity.
