 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 2021 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.
