Forms of execution in your nation

[Philimbesi]

Lethal Injection, Firing Squad, or Electrocution. It's up to the judge to decide the method.

[Wadomia]

for execution, we use lethal injections or firing squad, depend on what the jury wants to do

[Germanoslavia]

Life in prison without the possibility of parole is the most extreme penalty in our nation with but one exception. The only crime for which the death penalty is used in The Grand Duchy is acts of terrorism resulting in death. This is how we deal with terrorists http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLfa6PdZLT0&feature=related.

Also, torture, which is prohibited in all other circumstances, may be used on terrorists to extract valuable information.

All of this results from the Anti-terrorist Royal Proclamation of 2003.

[DeusII]

Firing Squad, Hanging, Guillotine, Lethal Injection or a single bullet to the back of the head.

[Higueras]

20 years in prison... we don't use capital punishment in Swilatia.

What if they leave prison unrepentant and just as dangerous as when they entered it?

[Great Nepal]

We have recently outlawed execution as we have got better way to punish them and improve our economy, by sending criminals to reeducation camp where they work for Great Nepal for free, usually for life.

[Lunas Verde]

Only criminals who have committed the most heinous of crimes are even considered for the death penalty, and of those, only those with no chance of rehabilitation can recieve it. Anyone up for consideration is thoroughly interviewed by a panel of psychologists, and their findings are reported (along with police reports, medical history, etc.) to the Panel of Justices. If the defendant has been found guilty of the charges, cannot be rehabilitated even into prison society, and is certain to commit the crime again if released, the sentence is lethal injection, and it is carried out within three days to avoid having to house the entire death row (always fewer than 10 people) in special quarters to keep them seperate form the rest of the prison. Of course, the families and friends of the convict are notified and allowed to visit. Parents, spouses, and (adult) children are allowed to be with the convict in their final moments.

However, crime is very well under control in Lunas Verde. We have only one prison in the nation, and it isn't close to being full yet (although it is a large prison). Even minor crimes such as theft are uncommon, and those crimes aren't often punished with prison time. Instead, the criminal is sent to a government facility where they perform civic duties, unpaid of course. Crimes that would put someone into consideration for the death penalty (i.e. rape, murder, the worst forms of animal abuse) are essentially unknown. The last death sentence carried out was in 2002 on a serial rapist.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Person has a rope tied around their wrists(binding them). The other end of the rope it tied to a pole attached to a machine that spins the pole around in a full 360. Large slabs of concrete are set up just outside the perimeter of the 360 as it begins spinning(which means the human is being spun in a 360. The slabs are brought closer to the perimeter by 1 inch every hour. Eventually they breach said perimeter anf the human's feet hit the slabs and break. The slabs continue to be pushed in until the human's entire body is broken amd they are dead.

[Krushthyneighbor]

We don't believe in the deterrent effect of execution in Krushthyneighbor. But we do believe in letting annoying people vanish. In broad daylight in a well populated street without anyone noticing anything. And billing the family for the popped-out-of-existence person disappearing.

[Gordonopia]

In Gordonopia, all crimes constitute high treason, which is punishable by death. However, the methods of death are varied. For a crime like shoplifting or the like, the individual is flogged for two hours and then both legs and both arms are broken. After that, they are shot in the face with a .357, effectively ending their useless existence. However, if they are traitors or murderers, the punishment is decidedly more severe. For a murderer, they are tortured mercilessly with all of the tools of delightful torture that the Emperor chooses to use for his pleasure e.g. thumb crews, bamboo shoots under the fingernails etc. Finally, if the person is a traitor or if they have committed an offense against the Emperor or the Dark Lord Pahuus personally, the punishment is the most delightfully savage and brutal. The entire family of the individual is kidnapped and brutally tortured in front of the person e.g. daughters are deflowered, sons are sprayed with acid, wives are forced to do unspeakable things to the guards etc. Then, all of them are murdered one by one, while the piece of scum watches helplessly. Finally, after that, he is taken to the execution chamber where he is skinned alive. After that, his is slowly dipped in a vat of boiling hot salt water. Hopefully his suffering will be great and prolonged because only the top layer of skin is removed. Usually, however, the pukes die of shock. After they are executed, the traitor is thrown to the dogs for their supper, the ultimate sign of disrespect in Gordonopian culture.

[The Resurgent Dream]

There is no capital punishment in the Resurgent Dream.

[Germanoslavia]

... we have got better way to punish them and improve our economy, by sending criminals to reeducation camp where they work for Great Nepal for free, usually for life.

Yes, we do the same thing to our lifers here in The Grand Duchy at our Royal Correctional Farms. Works out well for everybody concerned, except for the criminals, of course!

[Kengen]

We usually don't execute. The rough equivalent of execution is a very large and very resource sparse abandoned industrial complex we call The Doom. We simply exile prisoners there, and demolish all of their buildings after a period of time (usually one year). It's strictly monitored, and very dangerous; the inhabitants are expected to fend for themselves. As of now, there are approximately seven thousand prisoners in The Doom, each with the rough equivalent of a life or death sentence.
Once a decade, the philosopher may call out one person he deems capable of reintegration. The prisoner goes through a fail proof test to ensure safety.

When we do execute (which is purely optional, and very rare), it is by the persons choice. We ensure the prisoner doesn't make it out alive, whatever the execution process may be.

Eg, one may choose to be executed by jumping out of an airplane. Where the person lands is flooded with toxic gas; the prisoner has no chance of escape. (There are restrictions, albeit loose ones, on location choice and method.)

[Dagnia]

The most common form of execution is a bullet to the back of the head. However the victim (execution is sometimes also used for other crimes, including rape of a prepubescent child, so the victim in a capital case may still be alive) or the victim's family can decide the method, provided it does not take longer than a week or cost more than a certain number of Golds. They may also directly participate in the execution. This is only for federal cases, and the prefectures have their own ways of doing things, but they usually follow the Federal government as a general rule.

[Albrante]

Guillotine for ultra violent crimes such as homicide, rape and the like. If the criminal does something to lighten his sentence, like plead guilty or testify against an accomplish they can be eligible for a lethal injection.

[Feroniaoniaoh]

The Republic of Feroniaoniaoh transmogrifies felons into platypus.

[BLACKGRUE]

Riddled with bullets, then shocked with tesla coils, then riddled with bullets,then lit on fire, then riddled with bullets, then exploded, and then riddled with bullets again.

Mostly because the Constructs didn't like that we treated humans and constructs differently with regards for executions. So now everybody, human or otherwise, gets the full monty, designed to kill even the toughest beastie the sparks have created.

[Strathy]

In Strathy the death sentence is only handed down in the most severe of cases and is very rarely used. However, to make things more interesting, we have a big "wheel of fortune" type thing. The prisoner spins the wheel for what ever type of execution. It adds fun to an otherwise unpleasent thing.

[Sungai Pusat]

We have no capital punishment.

[2-aminoethanesulfonic]

We do not have a death penalty in our criminal code, however after we privetized the court system there was some creative judges that manged to reintroduce the death penalty by some creative interpitation of the law. The legislative branch quickly patched up the laws used, however the legal firms running the courts took the legislative branch to court and got the amendments ruled unconstitutional. So we got a de facto death penalty, we never saw it coming.

[Shofercia]

We have capital punishment for extremely heinous crimes, but since no one has ever committed such crimes, no one was ever executed in Shofercia.

Crimes which get you killed:

1. Betrayal. We do not tolerate traitors. However it must be proven that one betrayed his country, not merely alleged.
2. Serial Rapists.
3. Mass Murderors.

[Pythria]

Firing squad.

[Peppersmak]

We do not have executions and we got a fully privatized legal system, including the legislative branch of government.

It is written in our constitution that all civil- and criminal cases are ruled by tort law. If a criminal is unable to pay for the damage this person goes into bankruptcy. A bankrupt person is not a citizen of Peppersmak and is thus exiled with nothing more than he or she had when entering this world. It could be very cold in the winter. An exiled person has no rights and no protection from the court (protection by courts is something that is secured by insurance, and the moment the bankrupsy is in effect all insurances are declared void). So in that regard, we might in practice has some sort of death penalty, but the hands of the courts and goverment are clean.

[Hyperbia]

Enemies of the state are equipped with an electroshock implant. They then preform menial manual labor free of charge or die due to electric shock.

[Improved Macchiato]

In Improved Macchiato we got no death penalty since our overall goal is to make the population happy and free, and you become happy though being free. Unhappy people get all the treatment needed to become happy again, what ever it takes. It is important to break the chains of unhappiness to become free. Any person should die while happy, because it is imporant to die as a free person. And when it happens it is a joyful time.


OOC: Nobody is ever killed, until they fully love the situation that made them a criminal. E.g. when someone is arrested for unhappiness, they are reeducated for as long as it talkes. The returned to society, so people can see that they are happy again, before eventually they are found dead with a big smile
