Capital punishment by country

Capital punishment has been formally abolished by statute or constitution   Capital punishment is permitted for specific scenarios   Capital punishment is legal and is used regularly
	Country	Year implemented	Year of last execution	Year abolished	Notes
	Charnea	Antiquity	2021	In Effect	In Charnean tribal society, execution was the most common sentence for a crime. This trend has remained in place through most of Charnean history, with the laws of the Empire of Charnea more formally delineating which transgressions were to be punished with execution and which were not. For the most part, Imperial era patterns have remained in place with a large number of crimes being potentially punishably by execution, although there are very few crimes in which execution is mandatory and thus the decision to execute a convicted person is at the court's discretion. Furthermore, under Charnean law the murder of a person who is known to have committed a capital offense within Charnean borders or against a Charnean citizen or who can be proved to have most likely committed such a capital offense is considered a fair and legal execution, thereby categorizing a small number of annual murders in Charnea as legal executions rather than crimes after due investigation.
	Draakur	1872	2021	In Effect	The death penalty has been a part of the Ottonian justice system since the Federation's founding in 1872, and remains on the books. Since the Ottonian Reaction, the Union of Ottonia has made liberal use of the death penalty, using it against dissidents accused of treason quite frequently, as well as against more conventional violent criminals. Even in the present, the South Ottonian government at the local and national level make fairly frequent use of capital punishment, averaging between 20 to 40 executions per year since 2000.

	Gelonia	1950	1986	2003	Capital punishment was introduced by statue enacted in 1950. After successive Labour-led Bodadeg sessions, capital punishment was phased out, with a final ban receiving royal assent in 2003 and all pending executions re-sentenced.
	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.
	Kayahallpa	Antiquity	2022	In Effect	Capital punishment is used extensively for crimes including murder; treason against the Revolution; terrorism; drug trafficking; espionage; rape; and blasphemy, and generally takes the form of human sacrifice: the convicted's chest cavity is opened and the heart is physically removed, which is ritually offered to one or more gods by a priest. The process is usually performed in public to religious celebrations. Multiple individuals are often executed at the same occasion. The consent of the convicted is not required in order to be sacrificed, but only those with a sentence received through the Courts of Sakwi may be offered. The number of executions varies and is unknown, but is estimated to be hundreds of persons a year. Non-sacrificial executions typically occur as a punishment for especially heinous crimes, which may also involve kin punishment. In the first couple decades after the Kayahallpan Revolution, when the country underwent extensive purges of political dissidents, executions were usually done by shooting or hanging.

	Mniohuta	Antiquity	2022	In Effect	While Mniohuta has gradually transitioned towards rehabilitative justice over punitive justice, execution has existed as a means of punishment in extreme cases since antiquity. Generally speaking capital punishment is only used in instances of terrorism, serial murder, and occasionally in cases of rape. Traditionally alternatives such as exile have been held preferable, but in the modern era this is no longer feasible; thus, capital punishment is generally accepted as the go-to punishment for extreme acts of violence and criminal behaviour even amidst debate over the issue.
	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 buried 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.
