Corporal punishment

[Othyl]

The Incorporated States of Othyl and the Associated Territories have a general tendency to avoid what goes on in a private residence. In other areas, Othyl is far more lenient as to how businesses conduct themselves and permits it to occur anywhere so long as sufficient reasoning can be given in the event of assault charges. In the Associated Territories however, the government has a far more authoritarian stance and forbids private citizens from administering such punishment in public. Morale officers have wide ranging authority to oblige however.

[Maurepas]

Corporal Punishment is illeglal, because death is not a punishment, but a natural passing of life, and end to the biological cycle for an individual. Sort of like "The End" on a movie.

I believe you may be thinking of "Capital Punishment" :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Punishment

Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the killing of a person by judicial process for retribution, general deterrence, and incapacitation

As opposed to "Corporal Punishment":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment

Corporal punishment is the deliberate infliction of pain intended to discipline or reform a wrongdoer or change a person's bad attitude and/or bad behaviour

[Rejistania]

Officially it is illegal for schools and parents to spank children. but, well, "Tani mi'salan ve Sike mi'jenti." (the country is big and Sike is far away). Thus the law is often ignored.

[Linux and the X]

Violation of the right to be free and secure in one's own body is illegal.

[Ostronopolis]

Who's going to arrest them? The non-existent government? Anarchy means no government, and thus, no law. Anything else isn't Anarchy. Of course, Anarchy is a failed idea because people NATURALLY form governments, militias, et cetera for protection and better living standards...

Corporal Punishment is legal in the GWO. Of course, only to a point, and it must be for a reason. For example, parents can't beat the royal hell out of their kids to the point of bleeding if they do some typical minor thing.

One thing, however, is GWO law enforcement. Civilian Control Officers and Continental State Police Officers are rampant with their 950,000v Electrobatons, as well as their three-foot long batons (Either in straight or, more rarely, collapsible form.) If you get caught, you can almost always expect a few good knocks from them. Beatings are not a legal punishment; that is to say, you can't be sentenced to beatings and beatings don't count towards your punishment. It's simply the result of pissing off a cop in the GWO.

I wouldn't want to live in your country

Unless I was the leader of course

Tell that to the the WA.

[Arthymia]

Corporal punishment is illegal in Arthymia.

[Freepaxia]

corporal punishment is legal to an extent. In Freepaxia it is a misdomeanor to swat your child in public, and the school must have a written concent form on file signed by both living parents, In addition each jurisdiction has a taskforce within the police services that closely monitor/investigate allogations of child abuse, neglect, and explotation. While public display of corporal punishment is only a misdomeanor crime is not taken lightly in Freepaxia, 1 count of P.D.C.P. can carry a maximum sentence of 6 months confinement and 40 hrs. of community service, our judges have shown a history of issuing max sentences across the board and while confined you(or your family) must provide for all food and laundry services

[Turkish Federation]

Illegal.

[Tiesabre]

Course the reason corporal punishment is legal in Tiesabre is simply because our people aren't human and are quite fuzzy and ourchildren have been know to laugh at effort to spank them. So spanking it extremely rare here in the first place.

[Stat-Adonei]

Stat-Adonei is keen to enshrine in law the right of parents and guardians, teachers and others in charge of young persons, to punish, physically, those up to the age of 20, and for the State too to physically punish those up to the age of 25 where parents are unable to apply this penalty themselves. Stat-Adonei is keen to enshrine in law the right of parents and guardian and teachers, and others in charge of young persons, to apply such punishment with a cane, leather strap, or with the flat of the hand. The preferred implement for use by State officials will be the leather strap.

We add too that although 'Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown [in our State], thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare' it is our wish to protect those citizens and institutions wishing to apply physical punishment on those in their care.

[The People of George]

Corporal punishment is wholly legal, and there has been little discussion questioning the subject. Corporal punishment is also permitted in the school systems. There is a fine line between physical discipline and abuse, and case of abuse is thoroughly investigated. Those found guilty of physically abusing children (18 AND under) lose parental rights to all their children, receive a heavy fine of nearly $8000, 6 months in jail, and must pass a state run rehabilitation class (usually between 6-8 months). The People of George takes abuse very very seriously.

[Maraque]

Corporal punishment has been a cultural taboo in Maraque since... forever. Therefore it's banned.

[Bamikole]

Heavily encouraged.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.

[Surote]

Corporal punishment is legal in surote fed.

[The People of George]

Heavily encouraged.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.

mmm I AGREE 100%

[Conserative Morality]

Legal, but rarely applied. Mostly in the Military, or for those unlucky 'middle' crimes, not bad enough for Capital Punishment or Exile, yet too horrible for just fines and community service.

[NoHolocaustHappened]

NoHolocausthappened recognizes corporal punishment as an alternative to an overcrowded prison system currently facing our nation today. It is lawful for only the principal of a school to use corporal punishment on a child, but is unlawful for any institution of higher learning or place of business to use it. Furthermore, parents have the right to punish children in public spaces, but this is frowned upon in the community and is rarely a problem.

[Sorgan]

If they are immigrants, then yes. And yes Sorgan is very Zenophobic.

[Sorgan]

@Swilatia-Your nation is anarchistic and everyone has right to do what he want,so he can spank the child

Being anarchistic doesn't mean to be legal to spank children, for example. Being anarchistic, in my ideas, is different from having too many freedoms.

Anarchy= No government therefore meaning anything is legal for there is NO LAWS in an anarchy. I was a failed idea because it was only so long until a dictator seized power.

[Swilatia]

Okay, to clarify, Swilatia isn't actually an anarchy... it's just classified by the WA as one.

[Goias]

Corporal punishment was practiced in Goian schools of the 18th century when there was no centralized education system. The practice continued in the 19th century once a national education system was established, but became more widespread during the Nezraki occupation of 1898-1945.

Corporal punishment was banned by President Tsikan Sanyan as part of his modernization of the education system. However, the next administration introduced the now-infamous "militarization" of education in 1959, which legally mandated corporal punishment, school uniforms and various other restrictions. Despite initial conservative support, the reform became massively unpopular in Goias and was repealed in 1964. Nowadays, corporal punishment is illegal, with the exception of the military and law enforcement where it is legal and widely practiced. Both institutions contain an appendix to their charters which specifies in precise detail what can be punished by corporal punishment and how. Two people must take part in such punishment - the one who administers the actual punishment, and another one to make sure the punishment is exactly according to the rules and does not become abuse.

[Sorgan]

OOC: You don't have to role-play as an anarchy. becuase well you can't. Take Augmark for an example.

[Swilatia]

I don't do very much International Incidents-type RPing anyway. Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever even posted in that forum section.
