 Ostrov by 1364 before the formation of an Ostrovian state 1390 Public beating For the first thirty years of North Island's habitation, there was no government and justice was largely in the hands of private citizens, who issued their own punishments for transgressions. Although crimes such as theft were typically punished by caning or public humiliation, reports circulating between the mid-1360s and mid-1380s indicate that those who murdered others were killed, often being beaten to death by their fellow citizens. The Charter of 1390 - which, although not a constitution as such, is widely considered to be a founding document of the Ostrovian state and still holds legal force in Ostrov to this day - declares that "no man shall be condemned by the leadership of Ostrov to die for any reason whatsoever."
Antiquity Present Year N/A Chosen by condemned Execution in Kyldegard is relatively commonplace, especially in cases of violent crime, war crimes, and sexual assault. Those sentenced to execution are given "Last Rights": The right to have one last state-provided meal before their demise (if they so choose it), the right to choose their method of publicity of preservation (i.e. having their choice of burial or cremation, having a gravesite, having their family members, loved ones, or the general public told about their death and method of execution, if they so wish), and the right to choose their method of execution. The executed may not decide the exact person to be the executor, certain forbidden locations, or privacy of their execution. It is also legal for any person convicted of a crime or otherwise any citizen without family or kin who wishes to end their own life, to request execution without trial.

Instead, the convicted suffer a sort of "disappearance" effect, being quietly removed from public and their records archived.
