(de facto)
Executions in Anikatia have existed since the Dynastic Period. The purpose of executions was to cause reactions and stop crimes. Methods of executions included slow slicing, hanging, and dismemberment. Heads of executed people have always been used as warnings to others. Specifically, dismembered heads were displayed to the public both to serve as public warning and enforce military courtesy. By the 1951 Republic hanging, and firing squad became the main methods of execution. After the 1967 revolution the new socialist government abolished the death penalty almost immediately after assuming power, but restored it on 5 May 1969: first for treason and espionage, and then for aggravated murder. The Penal Code of 1970 significantly extended the list of capital crimes. After the fall of the DSRA, the new Anikatian Republic carried out the death penalty intermittently, with up to 8 or so officially before the moratorium came into effect in 2002. Currently, the Penal Code of Anikatia regulates executions as a form of punishment for some crimes including: rebellion, espionage, homicide, and other 12 sections. In February 2002, then-president Kyon Chi-won enacted a moratorium on executions. This moratorium is still in effect as of 2015. Thus, executions in Anikatia are considered to be abolished 'de facto'. The last executions took place in December 2001, when 8 people were put to death.

At its incepetion, the Emperor could order anyone put to death for any reason and often did so. Tyrannical rulers would often have any number of officials and dissenters put to death. The establishment of the Malvarae Court finally halted Emperors killing people at will, establishing a legal procedure for handling of crimes. Capital punishment was most notably used by Tarsas in 1938 when six thousand Ulthrannic nationals were convicted of spying and mass executed.
