Forms of execution in your nation

[Khazov]

We have a very special form of semi-public execution. For the worst, most violent criminals who are sentenced by our courts to die, we first declare them a non-person. This is to remove the idea of these monsters' "civil rights". Then, a private corporation called KCM Productions pays the government for the rights to execute them (This is legal, as they are no longer people, but considered refuse; garbage to be disposed of. Any form slavery or of ownership of actual people is itself a crime in Khazov).

KCM Productions has erected a large processing facility which includes a state-of-the-art stadium. There is a weekly pay-per-view program aired on premium cable and satellite networks, entitled " Take Out The Trash: Khazov Chooses!". The program opens with a large gate opening in the arena, letting dozens of convicts run onto the field. Then, two monster-tucks, usually driven by sponsored, professional drivers, drive onto the field, and attempt to run down as many of the convicts as possible. Each criminal has a number on the back of their jumpsuit, which is their point-value if killed (the value is proportional to the severity of their crime). The winner usually wins some sort of prize, generally a sponsorship, cash, or a trip.

The "main event" consists of 3 or 4 convicts, the worst of the worst, being led onto a stage. Here, the audience is read a brief description of each of the criminals, and crimes they have been convicted of; this is occasionally accompanied by a video dramatization. Then, several methods of execution are drawn from a hat, and the audience votes (both live and by phone in, phone in votes cost 10 Khazids each) on how the garbage should be disposed of. There is also occasionally a special option offered up to the vote that has been a particular crowd favorite, "The Wheel Of Death". It is essentially a set of 3 concentric wheels that when spun, produce a form of execution that is a combination of two different traditional forms and a third "wild card" modifier. Some past results have been "Electrocuted while Hanged with a Jump Rope" and "Drawn and Quartered and Shot with a T-shirt Launcher".

The show has proven to be a runaway success. Ratings are astronomical, the economy is stimulated, and the government is saving a ton of money on what has proven to be a costly process in the past.

[Maraque]

Execution isn't legal. They've already done the crime, killing them doesn't solve anything.

[The Communist Reich]

It is mostly firing squad but in civilian crimes it is sometimes the injection with chemicals thing.

[Schwabenreich]

Depends on the crime, however, in most cases of punishment, we prefer to let them fight each other in a gladiatorial arena or say, do forced labor. That way, everyone is happy!

[Consaria]

We just shoot them.

[Orlkjestad]

Cyanide pill, lethal injection, or Ol' Sparky.

[The Pelican Nation]

If you kill somebody in Louisiana...we will kill you back.

Firing squad and hanging are both legally acceptable methods. Judge's choice on the Federal level. States and Territories/Districts may have it as being the convicted person's choice, or sometimes it depends upon the crime.

[Tartwo]

If it's a serial killer, we let the victim family have some rope and let them set the punishment. After we made sure we got the right person.

[Uganova]

Only traitors to the nation that have been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt receive the death penalty. We do make it short, however- we shoot them in the head with a pistol. Only three times has this been done- twice to two leaders of the Fascists in the Bloody Revolution, and once to a domestic terrorist in 1983.

[Wolffbaden]

After being convicted of their crime, the guilty is given a choice as to his method of execution and where it will take place- be it within practical and logical bounds. He may also choose the time, within a 48-hour time frame. If circumstances permit it, he may request attendees, relation by association or for mere consideratory purposes.

[Libertarian JC States]

Capital Punishment's gonna be rare. You must meet at least one of these requirements:

-Intentional murder of at least three people.
-Intentionally causing severe or critical harm to at least three people (Including physical and sexual abuse)
-Extinction or endangerment of any species native to the nation.
-Death of a human caused by intentional arson.
-Intentional burning of forests or national parks without formal approval of the city and territory governments, and the approval of both kings.
-Intentional Heresy in a Christian Church or Jewish Synagogue.
-Terrorism.
-Treason.

Exceptions: Murder or harm of less people, intentional or unintentional; or unintentional arson and/or forest-burning will result in exile from the territory. Unintentional Heresy is punishable by putting you up in front of that church or synagogue's congregation, telling the truth, and formally inviting the congregation to spit on you.

All other crimes are lesser, and depending on degree of such crimes, you will either be (In order from worst to least): Sent to military training for a specified amount of time, beating or whipping,
or sent to jail for a specified amount of time.

ON TO THE PENALTY!

I think I might agree with Assassinistan on this, that it depends on the crime. Murder and/or harm will result in hanging. Heresy will result in a wave of dishonor before death by execution*. Arson and forest-burning will result in death by burning (unless otherwise requested by the family) Extinction will result in the electric chair. Terrorism will result in death by drowning. Treason will result in sending the convict over to any other nation that wants to execute them, then that nation's soldiers will proceed to execute them.

*Execution refers to death by being shot by soldiers.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Added Treason.

[Swilatia]

Oh, where to begin , where to begin?

Here in Assassinistan, we kill not by a predetermined method, we kill in a manner that suits the crime.
Or, we let the victims or their immediate family kill the criminal, which usually involves kicking and punching.
For crimes where there are no family members or victims, or more than one family member or victim, we get creative.

For example, if we had Osama Bin Laden, we would put him on a plane programed to crash into Mecca.
Or, if we had that guy from Silence of the Lambs (Buffalo Bill), we would skin him alive, and sew a bear skin on him. Then, we'd release him back to the wild.

Edit: All executions are on state TV, Murder Channel TM.

What dreadful barbarians your people must be.

We feel that just throwing the guy in prison does suit most crimes. Certainly better then crashing a plane into a city of people who had nothing to do with it anyway.

Thank you! We take pride in our work!

An eye for an eye, and a plane into a city of people who had nothing to do with it anyway for a plane into a city of people who had nothing to do with it anyway.
Maybe we should stick with "A tooth for a tooth".

That usually fucks up the victim's mind more than the crime did, but it makes for good television.

Will leave the whole world blind. That is all.

[Monte Mare]

There are 2 ways:
1st: With poison. they die rapidly and painless
2nd: They are burned alive ( this kind of execution was only performed to 3 Nazis...)

[The Pelican Nation]

I am disturbed greatly by the intense barbarism on display here.

[Jakobia Minor]

The decision to execute a criminal is usually made at the local level. In cases of murder (that is, a killing done not out of self defense and without the consent of the victim) the killer is usually turned over to the family for punishment. The tradition is for a murderer to be executed in the same way he killed his victims, whenever applicable. As there is no state-sanctioned police force in Jakobia, community militias usually carry out criminal investigations and fulfill police-like duties. It is rare that they deem an individual worthy of execution, but it is known to happen. Aside from murder, the most common offenses that get people killed are: selling fake or dangerously cut drugs, willful and pointless destruction of the environment and rape. Generally the militias make the criminal dig a shallow grave and then shoot them into it.

Although it's largely fallen out of favour now, hanging was at one time very common in Jakobia Minor. In the chaos-days of the transition into anarchy angry mobs of citizens would frequently hang bankers, corporate executives, politicians, slumlords, bosses and generally anyone else they saw as perpetuating oppression and the old social order. Nowadays it is reserved for people found to be guilty of the same things, which generally means the rare racist or fascist gang that pops up.

[Ewa beach]

Skinning them alive, cutting off their eye lids, and then pouring salt in their wounds. We're also a fan of scaphism.

I like the way you think Ralkovia.
We now use Scaphism...

[New Imperial England]

We outlawed it after our Queen was executed.

[Vungary]

We chain them in a room, and then we unleash 20 starving dogs, then we lock the room and 3 days later we burn the corpse...

Oh don't worry, our people are quite progressive; they did away with the whole idea of prisons years ago.

We did not. We do have work gangs, though. Helps deal with housing expenses.

I was referring to some of the methods of execution described in this place. We just shoot, or hang.

[Apaduckadagwengo]

Each and every time someone is given the death penalty they are hung, drawn, quarted, shot by a firing squad and then burnt.

Using brutality against brutality is barbaric. There isn't much point in arguing about how barbaric you are.
