Aquitayne | 1368 | 1740 (civilian) 1923 (military) |
1741 | Capital punishment for civilians is constitutionally illegal. However, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, military personnel can be sentenced to death for various offenses. Likewise, Trial by Combat is still a valid form of arbitration within Aquitaynian Royalty. | |
Arimathea | 1612 | 1866 | 1871 | ||
Aswick | 1923 | 1989 | Capital punishment is only used in severe cases of treason. When a judge wants to use this sentence, he will have to seek approval from the monarch, as well as both houses of Parliament. | ||
Blackhelm Confederacy | Antiquity | 2016 | |||
Cadenza | 1795 | Formally abolished under the Third Constitution in 1795, but never a constitutional punishment during the Republic. | |||
Fyngaria | 1925 | 1990 | Capital punishment in Fyngaria is only used in exceptional scenarios, and generally it is nearly always avoided as an option. Last execution happened in 1990, when a person was executed because of attempted assassination of Fyngarian president. | ||
Template:Country data Glisandia | Unknown | 2015 | While pre-Northern Lorecian War, capital punishment had not occurred since 1974 for a serial killer, during and after the war, the practice was brought back as Glisandia was fighting the insurgency against the GGA. Several moles were discovered within the ranks of Government and the military and executed after rapid trials. Capital punishment has not been abolished yet. | ||
Hysera | / | / | / | Never formally existed, although pre-annexation (811 AD) ritual suicide was expected in certain honour situations. | |
Ionicus | 1945 | 2004 | Only legal for homicide/serial homicide | ||
Isles of Velar | No data | 1725 | Elcmar IV attempted to reintroduce capital punishment in 1773, after the War of the Velaran Succession, but vigorous nationwide protests dissuaded him. | ||

Nikolia | 1763 | 1989 | Capital punishment in Nikolia is performed only against persons that did crimes against the Royal Family, committed act of terrorism, mass homicide, manslaughter, rape of an underage person. Also, during wartime, capital punishment is performed on deserters, spies, and war criminals. | ||
Romberg | 2016 | Either for the crime Indignité nationale, i.e. "national unworthiness", levied on top of existing crimes depending on severity and circumstances. If found guilty, and with victims' or their families' consent, decapitation by guillotine.
Or for treason and gross military misconduct, with mandatory death penalty by shooting squad (seen as more honourable). Indignité nationale can be added on which would instead result in guillotine. Kaiser or grand council (parliament) can always issue pardons, which override death sentence. Execution solemn, quick affair in seclusion, aimed and preserving dignity. Electronic release for guillotine and firing squad - multiple buttons pushed. | |||
Trellin | 1903 | 1904 | |||
Woodstead | 1865 | 2015 (explicitly) | No capital punishment was recognised as law or officially as punishment for any crime. Capital punishment has now been explicitly abolished as of the new Woodsteasian Federation constitution. However, the closest case recorded was the one-off execution of Military Governors after Empress Olavea took the throne and urged the Erlenic Empire to curtail the ruthless slaughter of indigenous tribes in Astyria and Nyasott. | ||
