Due to the infrequence, and the extreme crimes needed, for capital punishment, these methods of execution have been the same since Gotsborg's parliament was first instituted. It is considered to be highly honorable to be executed via firing squad individually with the full honors. The traditional method of this is three lines of 10 soldiers, for a total of 30. After a short ceremony of varying levels, the first line fires simultaneously on the executed with ceremonial standard issue rifles, then kneel, position their rifle by holding the front with their left hand and balance the back on the ground, and salute with the right hand, while the second fires and does the same, followed by the third who fire, reload, fire into the air, then salute without kneeling.

[] Other:

4. Does capital punishment exist in law? Yes. There are two ways in which the sentence of death can be meted out upon an individual. The first is through the Sacrament of the Scale, under which a judge will prescribe a symmetrical, retaliatory harm upon the culprit on the same scale and sort as the harm they inflicted upon others. The most common example of this is murder, which under the Sacrament of the Scale usually means death. The second is through rikandas, a Belluvian term meaning "law [set] in stone". These are a series of static punishments prescribed for specific religious crimes. The punishment of death is meted out for the crimes of apostasy, heresy, lèse-majesté and treason under religious law.
