Aurivizh | 1964 | 2011 | N/A | Capital punishment is permitted for rare cases involving murder, rape and war crimes. Most of these crimes are usually still given life sentences, rather than execution. However, in rare cases in which the convicted has admitted that it was planned, the convicted is given a death sentence. The last carried out execution was in 2011, where Ewen M. was executed for the double murder of Arzhur and Gwennez Ar Moal. However, on the 6th of February, the death sentence was given out to Yann O. and Nolwenne de S. for the assassination of Berac'h Hamon. Executuion is usually carried out by firing squad. | |
Cristina | Since Founding | ? | N/A | Capital punishment is permitted for cases involving murder, certain aggrivated drug-trafficking or firearms offenses. | |
Dolchland | Since Founding | 2018 | N/A | Public execution is commonly used for those who have committed a grievous crime such as murder, sedition, treason, or rape. It is by far not the worst punishment available though, as rapists are often gelded and others have been lobotomised and turned into docile slaves before. | |
Fulgistan | Since Founding | 2015 | 2020 | Retained for treason, terrorism, and other crimes against the state, as well as crimes committed during wartime. Set to be abolished by 2020. | |
Hemahat | Since Founding | 2017 | N/A | Capital Punishment is considered a valid punishment for treason and murder. However, only exceptional cases are actually given the death penalty, particularly cases with high amounts of publicity. The majority of the convicted are instead sentenced to life imprisonment. | |
Littland | Since Founding | 1931 | 1965 | Capital punishment was abolished following the adoption of the 1965 Constitution. | |
Mahana | Since Founding | 1991 | 1992 | Capital punishment in Mahana was prevalent throughout a majority of history, especially during the 20th century during the 'royal regime' which the family would use capital punishment to keep any opposition to their rule in line. 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. | |
Stedoria | Since Founding | 2022 | N/A | Capital punishment is permitted for crimes such as drug trafficking, murder, rape, treason, counterrevolutionary activities, and other high-level crimes. The most common execution methods are the firing squad or guillotine. 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 to 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. | |
Tagmatium | Since Founding | 683 | 683 | Capital punishment was abolished on religious grounds in 683, with the idea that it prevented a victim's future repentance and return to the Light of Christ. Instead, the favoured punishment was blinding, usually through removal of the eyes, before being exiled to a religious institution. The act of blinding was not always non-fatal - sometimes intentionally so. This practice hasbecome discontinued since Rule of the Admirals. | |
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. |
