Capital Punishment in Creeperopolis

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Creeperopolis, currently used all 29 departments, the Papal State, El Salvador, and the military. Its existence can be traced to the Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis (537-745). Creeperopolis is the only nation on the Southern Landmass that applies the death penalty regularly. A total of 3,265 were executed in 2019.

Death sentences in Creeperopolis are pronounced almost exclusively based on the system of judicial sentencing discretion, the Creeperian Bible, or the Creeperian Constitution. The rise in death sentences during recent decades resulted from a concerted reaction by the government and the courts to a rise in violent crime during the Third Senvarian Insurgency, Mara War, Castillianan Insurgency, and Deltinian Insurgency.

From 2000 to 2020, Creeperopolis has seen two distinct bumps in execution count.

The first bump in execution count came from 2003-2004. In 2003, the Creeperian Armed Forces toppled the government of Alfonso VI. Following the coup, the new government under Alexander II and under direct orders of Minister of Defense Augusto Cabañeras Gutiérrez arrested, tortured, and executed thousands of supporters of the old regime. The National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) carried out most of the executions with the police force carrying out the remainder.

In 2019, executions skyrocketed following the 2019 San Salvador Attacks and the imposition of martial law. Its effects continued into 2020 with an above average count of executions occuring. Executions skyrocketed again following the 2020 Creeperian Coup d'État Attempt.

The narrow majority of executions were related to terrorism or war. Only around 20% of the executions were related to terrorism with the remaining 80% being executed prisoners of war from the Creeperian Conflicts.
