Death penalty in Y/N

Postby Populi-Terrae » Sat Jan 21, 2017 2:00 pm

It's simple. Just make your clear your country's position on capital punishment/the death penalty and why your country maintains that position.


Populi-Terrae does not use the death penalty unless it is absolutely necessary. We would rather that the prisoner go through rehabilitation and treatment for any mental illnesses first.

There is the death penalty for the most serious crimes (rape, murder, etc.).

Valgora has 2 methods of execution:
- 1: Firing squad
- 2: Medical experimentation

The state decides which method will be chosen for the person being executed.

Death Penalty was abolished in 2000, mainly because a person was wrongly convicted and was killed.

It hasn't been used for a few decades now on our citizens.

But on enemies, we don't really need a reason to kill.

Capital punishment was abolished for all crimes in a 2003 referendum. At the time of the referendum, there were three people still on death row and, following the abolishment, all three had their sentences automatically commuted to the new maximum sentence, seventy-five years imprisonment.

The death penalty is legal at the federal and provincial level. As of this moment; 3 republics, 2 states and 1 territory have banned it.

The death penalty is only used in cases of serial murder, serial rape, and treason.

All outcomes of trials are done through jury, so if the jury thinks the correct punishment would be death, then the that's what will happen

In the Kingdom of Wessex, the death penalty is used for only the most heinous of offenses. It's history dates back to the founding of the kingdom in 100 CE where it was restored after if was outlawed by both the Domnonian Empire and its successor The Confederation of Saxony. At first it was abused and used arbitrarily use by nobles and the elite to get rid of troublesome rabble-rousers and the like. It was not until the reforms of Alfred the Great were the requirements for the death penalty were stiffened but it quickly relapsed after his death. The death penalty was horribly abused during the time of the military junta called The Directory (292-299 CE) where it was frequently used on soldiers and civilians who went against the regime political platform. It was not until major political reforms under our current king's reign where it was finally standardized and simplified into where the only way to carry out the Death Sentence, was with a firing squad where for every prisoner lined up there are five executioners.

Crimes where the Death Penalty is Applicable
Mass Murder
Serial Murder
Serial Rape
Gang Rape
Human Trafficking
Child Molestation
Treason
Train Derailment

The death penalty is fully legal in Nordengrund, though the populace is split about it. It is reserved for only very serious crimes such as serial murder, terrorism, and sometimes treason depending on how much the treason comprised national security.

In Marnady Death penalty is the only way criminals are punished,

People are killed for any crimes, and sometimes, they are killed even if they do not commit crime,

The population does not support death penalty, but libertarian lord made his rules clear, anyone who is not in favor of death penalty will be shot.

As a libertarian pure Freedom, Marnady upheald property rights as the most valuable rights and the only right.

The death penalty circumstantially applies to all crimes. Normally, committing a crime results in a lifetime of forced labor. However, if you commit a crime and are too old, young, ill, or otherwise too incompetent to adequately perform said forced labor, then you are put to death.
