Technically the Imperial Dominion does indeed have capital punishment. In practice, however, it's more of a highly encouraged suicide. Basically, high profile criminals that earn the death penalty are mostly high traitors or dark mages. Both of which are held in the Ebonmire Glade Correctional Facility. They are kept in horrid conditions and indirectly tortured until they want to willingly end their life. Once it has been determined that they are suicidal they are given a poisoned beverage (or a knife if the dark magic they practiced was related to poisons and toxins) and left to die.

Oddly enough, this torture also serves a dual purpose in being the main way to snap a dark mage back to their senses. It's not always possible, but the dark mages found to become sane and penitent are released and compensated. However, due to their crimes, they have to start their life with a new identity which is often on a Dominion World or Colony different than the one they came from.

No. There has not been an execution in Alizeria since 1902, and capital punishment was officially abolished in 1959.

Yes.

The Mackonia justice system is comprised solely of vigilantes and the Sskisto-streth assassin's guild, vigilantes provide a sort of legal presence on the streets, dealing with petty witnessed crimes, usually with little more than corporal punishment or summary execution for those who resist.

The Sskisto-streth conduct most serious law enforcement in the form of contracts, every one of which serves as a capital punishment to the targeted.

The Connurist Empire does have capital punishment but only in very rare cases does someone even commit a crime so heinous that one could even be considered for it. Capital punishment is only ever given at the pleasure of the monarch and the amount of times it has been carried out can be counted on a single hand.

Capital punishment has so far only been conducted with a single gunshot delivered to the back of the head.

Capital punishment was officially abolished in 2003, with the last execution taking place in 1997. From 1950 until 1997, a grand total of 19 people were executed in Gandoor and when it was abolished, there were still 3 people on death row. Those three people had their sentence reduced to 75 years in prison, the maximum sentence in Gandoor.

Yes. Methods vary depending on the crime.

Treason (including crimes against nature, for example littering and public smoking, and all crimes involving money or personal property): Execution performed by a Mord-Sith, who is instructed to keep the subject alive as long as possible (record: 47 days) if they aren't forthcoming, but to reward them with an instant death if they provide substantially useful information about ongoing large-scale fraud, tobacco/marijuana smuggling, etc., or a terrorist threat or something of that nature.

Murder: Killers are executed in the exact same manner in which they killed their victims, right down to the specific number of cuts/shots/whatever. Serial killers, since they can't be killed more than once, have their executions prolonged by a Mord-Sith instead.

Drunk/distracted driving: Offenders are used by the Olwean auto industry as crash test dummies, as many times as it takes to kill them.

Rape/pedophilia (second offense; for the first offense, the penalty is merely castration): Execution via forcible penetration with sharp objects.

Domestic violence/child abuse (second offense; for the first offense, subjects are only beaten to a point that requires an ambulance, not a coroner's van): Abusers are, fittingly, beaten to death, usually personally by the Emperor unless his schedule won't allow it.

Animal cruelty (second offense; the first offense warrants only a steep fine and removal of all animals from the offender's care): The offender must spend a day alone in a randomly selected dangerous-animal enclosure at the Imperial Zoo & Aquarium. Invariably, the animal kills and eats them. Spectators often show up to watch.

Cowardice: A bullet to the head, unless the charge is upgraded to treason (which does happen, with cases of desertion in the military).

Breaking out of prison and/or police custody: Summary execution, as quickly as it can be done, with minimal collateral damage... usually this is a bullet to the head, but not always.

Capital punishment in Aleckandor for both born or naturalized citizens and legal alien residents is only constitutionally lawful at the confederal level, whereupon it can only move forward with the explicit endorsement of a Judicial Section Magistrate [JSM] and a sponsored petition of a minimum of at least 4,000 signatories with registered citizenship. There are no unusual punishments for a convict of any danger level, but there are set methods that convicts can choose from (if they don't choose, the JSM will pick for them): firing squad by the Inter-Services Gendarmery, hanging until death, conscious cremation, live burial at sea, or a simple and clean lethal injection. However, if a convicted individual shows signs of a severe mental disorder prior to whatever heinous acts they committed according to the findings of a psychiatric panel post-trial, their harshest sentence can be commuted to between 30-75 years in a detention center with progressive rehabilitation treatment until they can are deemed societally functional.

Capital Punishment is prohibited at the federal level and by most of the states. In the remaining jurisdictions that do utilize this penalty, various ballot initiatives and court cases are underway, pressing for full abolition.

It is carried out by slowly beheading the offender.

Exile is the primary method of capital punishment. This is lethal because the level of radiation outside of the domed cities will kill within hours, if the arctic temperatures don't.

Rapists aren't necessarily sentenced to death, but are placed chained naked to a chair in a room full of power tools, and the father (or closest kin) of the victim is granted legal impunity and 5 minutes alone with him.

Traitors to the nation are slowly lowered into nuclear waste, and then disposed of along with the waste (by rocket launched and crashed onto the dark side of the moon).

Capital punishment is not a practice in the federal legal system, but it is practiced in five provinces. In the provinces of Tchetayine, Iquenoues, Quilec, and l'Épifanie, lethal injection is the preferred method; in the province of Île de Galles, the preferred method is death by firing squad.
