According to old tradition, someone who is found to have deliberately made a false accusation suffers the same penalty that the target of accusation would have suffered if convicted successfully.

False Asscusations are against the law if evidence show that it really is.

Human Rights Law Section A
It is against the law to asscusate someone without evidence.The presence of false evidence might be taken into account that the subject is false asscusing the Victim(At the point in time.)If the evidence is accepted on account that there is no other *True* evidence,and the asscused victim will be taken in by justice.


The Human Rights Law only reconisges evidence and the presence of false evidence might affect the jury that is taking place.If found guilty of false asscusations,the subject might be fined up to M$400,000 (USD$405,000) and the subject might be jailed between the jail-term of 10 Months-5 Years.

If the accusation was an out-and-out lie (that is, the accuser intended to deceive the authorities), and the accuser repeated the lie in court (or had a statement read to the court, signed by them, in which they repeated the lie), the crime is Perjury, which carries a maximum custodial sentence of twelve years.

If the accusation was a lie and someone was charged with a crime on the basis of the lie, but the accused was never able to repeat the lie in court (either because the case never reached court before the lie was discovered or because the court case was not yet advanced to the point that the accuser had the opportunity to lie or to have a statement containing the lie read to the court), the crime is Attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice, which carries a maximum custodial sentence of ten years.

If the accusation was a lie but was never investigated, or was investigated but no charges were ever filed, the crime is Causing a Wasteful Employment of the Police, which carries a maximum custodial sentence of six months and/or a fine. The fine would be the entire cost of any police enquiries up to a maximum of 10,000 Sovereigns.

The accuser must believe that the information they are providing to the police or to the court is wrong for the offence to be criminal. If the accuser provides information to the authorities believing it to be incorrect, but it is later established to be correct, the accuser is still guilty because the mens rea for the crime still exists. If the accuser did not know that the information they were providing to the authorities was incorrect, no crime is committed.

If found to be a malicious false accusation, they will serve the same sentence, jail-time wise, that the person they falsely accused would have received.

In all four of my nations false accusation will result in a 350 PCT fine. It also depends on the severity of the accusation. For example, attempted murder, 10 years in jail. We do not permit public flogging in my nation.

Providing knowingly false information, or false accusations, carry a variety of penalties. As a general rule, making a false accusation will carry a similar penalty to the crime which a person is falsely accusing another. Example: If you knowingly and falsely accuse a person of rape, and it is proven false in a court of law, the the accuser is liable for the same penalties as would befall the accused rapist. In many cases restitution for damaged reputation or loss of business is also possible. Giving of false information or false accusations is not looked upon kindly by our legal justice system and is considered dishonourable.

False accusations are ignored, unless they actually cause legal disturbances, in which they instead result in decitizenship. This in turn causes eligibility for involuntary servitude, making said involuntary servitude the end result of a false accusation.

Note that some accusations are automatically false, due to such an accusation being in violation of a previous agreement. For example, "marital rape" accusations are considered false accusations by default, as the YellowApplan definition of marriage gives unconditional consent to sex between two individuals.

If the false accusation resulted in the improper sentencing of a defendant, the accuser is given the same sentence, plus whatever the defendant had already endured, along with decitizenship.

If the person was mistaken, there is no penalty. If the person is found to have deliberately lied, there is a sentence for "perjury-false accusation of a criminal act". Perjury is illegal. It is rare to be convicted of a false accusation because it is difficult to prove it was deliberate.
