Capital punishment has occurred over much of Ajax in the past. However, in the past century, many countries in the region have abolished the practice. The following summarizes the countries and conditions in which capital punishment is legal in Ajax.

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.
 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.
 Keuland Antiquity 2021 In Effect Keuland has carried out capital punishment since ancient times, for a variety of crimes. On average 150 executions are performed every year, for crimes ranging from treason, sedition, espionage, terrorism, murder, rape, drug smuggling, armed robbery, piracy, burglary if aggravated circumstances, sorcery or witchcraft, pedophilia and human trafficking. The most common form of execution performed is beheading.
 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 his 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 his family to inherit rather than the government sizing all his 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.
Template:Country data Sudmark 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.
North Ottonia Ottonia, North 1872 2017 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. However, executions were in decline following the Ottonian Revolution in the northern Ottonian Federal Republic, and since the 1970's have decreased even further. In modern times, executions are very rare, averaging one or fewer annually since 2000, reserved exclusively for exceedingly heinous crimes with perpetrators who demonstrate no chance of rehabilitation. Notably, the most-recent execution was in 2017, when Ruger Skyllur was given the death penalty after being convicted on 14 counts of first-degree homicide and 9 counts of first-degree sexual assault (including three counts against minors), among other less-severe crimes back in 2006.
South Ottonia Ottonia, South 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.
 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 1909 1909 Capital punishment was abolished in the Talaharan Commune 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.
 Uluujol Antiquity 2021 In Effect The national government of Uluujol makes heavy use of capital punishment to dispose of dangerous dissidents, as well as violent criminals who are deemed to be incorrigible. Typically the death penalty is assessed for multiple sexual assaults or murders, as well as for treason or terrorism. Although it is rarely used, statutes in Uluujol allow the death penalty to be assessed for any crime after a sufficient number of repeat offenses; it is worth note that this is not limited to violent crimes It is not unusual for, although applications of capital punishment against white collar criminals remains unusual. The number of executions across all jurisdictions within the Khagante to exceed 100 in a given year, although this can vary considerably.
 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 2021 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, and treason (including mutiny and other high insubordinate acts such as espionage). 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.
