Does your nation use the death penalty? If so, what crimes are punishable by death? If not then what alternatives does your nation have to the death penalty?

Nope, we do not use the death penalty. However, if a criminal were to literally and purposely kill one or more people, they automatically receive life in prison. Keep in mind that we have no parole system within jail / prison.

[Druidville]

Considering the amount of uncivilized idiocy the Grand Druid had to put up with, it's a fact the Death Penalty is still on the books. It hasn't been necessary in awhile, however.

[Aurinsula]

In times of peace, only two crimes get the death penalty - murder in the first degree, and high treason. We usually execute one or two people every year; some years it's 0, and some years it's as high as 6. We've never had to execute anyone for high treason. Some people on the far right have called for the death penalty for rape, child molestation, or gross financial crime, but Aurinsula has steadily maintained the policy of never taking someone of life unless they've taken someone else's.

The method of execution is gunshot to the head, with a pistol. There is only one executioner, and that's his only job.

[Vostoka]

We use the death penalty for a variety of crimes from Murder and rape to treason. our methods are Hanging and Firing squad.

[Ermarian]

The death penalty is still technically on the books for wartime treason, certain acts of necromancy and various crimes against sapient life; however, there are no longer any legal execution methods and the death row got cut from the budget.
A judge could theoretically sentence a convict to death under certain circumstances, but the sentence would be commuted to life imprisonment by default, since the infrastructure (legal, administrative and technical) to execute people simply no longer exists.

[Makaar]

The death penalty has been outlawed in Makaar for more than sixty years, first by statute and then by the newly-adopted Bill of Rights in 2006; the last executions were carried out long before the formal abolition.

Makaar's people are reasonably divided on the subject of whether the death penalty should be available to deal with criminals, with opinions polls on support for the reintroduction of the death penalty showing support ranging from 45% to around 60%. However, the leaders of all the major parties represented in the Assembly have stated that they will not support legislation aimed at reintroducing the penalty, and all nine judges on the Makaarian Supreme Court have stated that the death penalty is incompatible with the protections of life guaranteed by the Makaarian constitution and will forever be illegal.
