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. | ||

Liothidia | 1846 | 2018 | In Effect | The death penalty was first legally enshrined in 1846 following Liothidian unification and has remained in active use since. The use of capital punishment has varied greatly over certain periods of time, with the punishment only being used for a small and select number of crimes under the Imperial government. Following the August Revolution and the founding of the socialist regime, its use dramatically grew and the number of crimes falling under the punishment grew from 13 to 54. Between 1918 and 1921, it is believed that over 350,000 people were executed by legal sentencing. Liothidia is believed to execute the highest number of people in Belisaria, with 448 executes in 2016. For example, Laws allow capital punishment for embezzlement; rape (particularly of children); fraud; bombing; flooding; rioting; separatism; armed rebellion; collaborationism; political dissidence; subversion; spreading poisons/hazardous substances; people trafficking; forcing a person to engage in prostitution (especially children, often after kidnapping or rape); piracy; theft; drug trafficking; corruption; arson; aggravated assault; aircraft hijacking resulting in death, endangering national and social security. Even the higher sections of Liothidian society are not exempt from the death penalty, as billionaire and party member Hans Neumayer was executed 18 June 2017, for corruption and fraud. | ||
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 burried 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. | ||
Ostmark | 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. | ||
Ottonia | 1872 | 2013 | In Effect | The death penalty has been a part of the Allamunnic justice system since the Federation's founding in 1872. Depending on the regime in any given era, the extent to which it has actually been utilized has varied dramatically. Since the overthrow of Eddard Jaal and the founding of a government more focused on rule of law in 2001, capital punishment has been used infrequently, reserved exclusively for those convicted of particularly heinous violent crimes, or those guilty of treason. The last execution was in 2013, 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, among other less-severe crimes. | ||
