Most drugs are legal. However, if they were caught smuggling illegal drugs, they would most likely be given to Section 1, the state's name for the Monteverdi crime syndicate which is given control over the drug and prostitution industries.

A single individual would get a prison term of varying length depending on circumstances such as type and quantity of drug and whether it is a repeat offence. In the example they are assumed to be part of a criminal gang so the sentnce is death.

Death

A serial sex offender has been found, on violation of house arrest orders to have been walking around a school zone. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?
This is considered to be a parole violation. The offender would be sent to prison to serve the remainder of sentence. Most likely in solitary confinement for his own safety.

A paid assassin has just attempted to take the life of one of your nation's most hated politicians and activists. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?
A prison sentence of at least 10 years during which time he would probably not be well treated.

We do not have internet, but this sort of thing is quite common in our press. The victim may bring a civil suit.

Two men have been caught abusing and neglecting animals that include numerous dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?
A fine and possibly a public caning. Corporal punishment is out of favor in our country, but might be acceptable in this case.

In a public supermarket or market, a parent dealt with an unruly child by slapping him on the face and jerking him around, as an onlooker reported the incident as being "shocking and what should be criminal." What is tour nation's punishment for this situation?
Local law enforcement would talk to the parent and child to see if closer attention needs to be payed to this family. Unless the child is injured, this would probably not be a crime.

He intended to kill himself, but was detained by the citizens around him first. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?
A long prison sentence or death. It is unlikely that the citizens, many of whom would be armed, would stop at detaining the man.

There are no anti-drug laws in Rumbria. The arresting officers would be asked why they bothered to arrest them in the first place

2.

The advocate for the prosecution would, after a finding of guilt, shoot him dead in the court.


3.

ALTERNATIVE: The sex offender has been found to have committed the offense in a school zone

Situation 1 - Arrest and detention for triple the time he was supposed to be under house arrest, though no such punishment exists
Alternative - Castration

4.

If he was a member of the cabinet, the assassin would be shot. If the politician was a member of the lower parliament the Lord President would probably pay the assassin to try again, since without doubt it would be he who put the hit out

5.

This would be dealt with in civil courts, with the victim of the slander suing the poster

6.

Six years in prison, with only one poorly cooked meal per day (If at all)

It's not criminal. The complainer would be thrown in the cells overnight for wasting police time

In truth it might never come to court in the commonwealth as he might be immediately committed, he is obviously insane. If it did come to court they would also have him committed.

School zone? If he is in violation of his parole it would depend on the situation, it is quiet possible they didn't know the school was there as we don't tend to give out maps of where schools are to sex offenders for some reason. If it was clear he knew then they would be headed back in jail.

If he carried out an offence then they could be looking at a long time in jail...if the police got to him before the population (and possibly a damn good kicking might fall down the stairs in the police station). If the population got there first...messy.

A paid assassin has just attempted to take the life of one of your nation's most hated politicians and activists. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

Depends on the drugs. If they are illegal drugs, then they are dosed with their own product. If they are treasonous illegal drugs (tobacco, marijuana, crack, meth), then slower executions may occur.

Revoke the press credentials of the offending media outlet and its employees. Then watch it go belly-up. If acts of treason have been committed, executions will occur in addition to this.

Ahh, initiation week for the Doomknights can be so much fun, can't it? As that's the only possible method by which any being could have their hands on a working gun in public, he is awarded a thousand dollars for each citizen killed, and fined ten thousand dollars for each citizen not killed. Then the citizens are ressurected and life goes on. The doomknight is sent back to "training" to finish the rest of "basic training".

It should be noted, only one doomknight walked away without any fines, he's a legend among his peers.

Postby Neo Prutenia » Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:09 pm

1. Drug Ring

Drugs are a very serious issue in Neo Prutenia. Smuggling a close second. Our legal system is quite different then in other countries - we have neither prisons nor legal punishments for "crimes". Our nations laws and legal procedures are closely tied to our constitution, the Prutenian Creed and the social contract all Prut agreed upon when they became citizens. To keep it short and simple - what in other countries constitues as a crime we divide into small and serious offenses.

More or less, you are free to do anything which won't harm another person, physically, mentally or emotionally. If you, by accident, chance or with intent, harm another one it comes before a court and the severity of the offense is inspected. If it is classifed as a serious offense, then you have broken your oath of citizenship - each Prut, when he turns twenty and finishes the mandatory 2 years military service swears an oath to follow the Prutenian Creed. If you break this oath, you lose your citizenship and all rights granted by it.

There are many ways to regain the former status - enter a rehabilitation centre, convince the damaged party to forgive you, enter church ground, etc. Drug trafficking and smuggling are considered serious offenses and, if the charges are proven true, the offender would lose his citizenship. As an illegal alien, he would be forbiden to enter urban, or any other settled areas, cross the borders, work, trade, he would be stripped of all possessions he gained in Neo Prutenia while he was a citizen, even his cloths and would most likely end up alone, naked and defensless in a forest, mountain or similar area. If he doesn't choose another option, like those mentioned above.

2. Serial Killer

A rare crime in Neo Prutenia, but not unheard off. First, every household and every adult person in Neo Prutenia are armed with at least a handgun. And each citizen has the right to shoot down anybody who threatens him, his family or friends directly - for example with physical violence. Especially on his private ground. Also, all Prut, depending on age, have 2 to 5 years of experience and basic to advanced training in the military and in handling weapons.

As can be seen, the chances off someone going into a killing spree are minimal. Our policeforce has exceptional funding, second only to education, and Prut cities are some of the safest and most crime free in the world. So someone like in the description provided by you, would have to be very powerful, influential and intelligent, if not even a genius, to pull this kind of feat off for more then a few days.

When finally apprehended, he would be examined and the case thouroughly inspected to see if he is criminally insane or sick, or if he did it in cold blood and with full intent. In the first case, he would be sent into a rehabilitation centre on therapy and would, if the treatment proves to be successful, be given later a new identity, or, in the second case, he would lose his citizenship and be separated from society.

3. Protect the little ones

A sex offender would have a very difficult life in Neo Prutenia if he didn't want to join a rehabilitation centre or wouldn't commit himself to chemical castration. Vigilanteism is a big problem in the Lands of Prut, and he would very soon be killed by another citizen or group of citizens if he roamed the streets freely without showing any kind of remorse or concern for his enviroment and fellow Prut. This goes triple for pedophiles.

He would be arrested and escorted away by the police, and the community in question would probably ensure that he couldn't enter the region again, even going so far as to unofficially "banish" him. A fine for this "small" offense would have to be paid. If he actually commited a crime, a "serious" offense, then he would lose his citizenship and be subjected to the full wrath of the community around him.

4. ABC for would be Assassins

Attempted murder is still murder, and murder is a "serious" offense. He would be subjected to the same treatment all Prut criminal offenders are, he'd lose his citizenship. Yet, the assassin would probably easily convince his target to forgive him the offense if he would say who sent him and give evidence of that, especially as no real harm was done. If he had actually succeded, then there wouldn't exist a possibility for a agreement with the authorities, the target and society.

On a side note, if he is good, he would at least be offered to work off his debts to society as a state agent or in the military or police. Even the church might try to get it's hands on him or her. We can appreciate skill and commitment to ones work here after all, even if the person possessing these traits is not a shining example of humanity.

5. You should have checked your sources better

This is a "small" offense in Neo Prutenia, the media outlet would at first be warned, then fined and then their licenses would be taken away and their business closed. The journalists in question would lose all credibility forever and would never again find employment in that branch. The media outlet in question would very soon lose all readership and go bankrupt. Prut don't like being lied to.

You can publish whatever you want - any image, any curse, sex, violence, virtually, whatever you wish, as long as it is the truth and you can prove it to be true. Of course, it also must respect the constitutional rights of citizens, especially privacy.

6. Animal lovers

The animals would be taken away and they would be fined. For each similar or repeated offense of this kind, the fine would grove exponentially larger, doubling or tripling each time. This is considered a small offense, but they would be labelled as what we like to call - " Assholes" and it would be made public knowledge what they have done and kept doing, if they don't cease with that behavior the first time.

7. Spare the rod, spoil the child

Depends on evidence - if there was a surveillance system in that area, or the statements from all witnesses to the incident are the same it would be investigated if that was a case of child abuse or a righteous smacking. Prut are responsible parents, and the state runs a periodic check upon households to see if everything is alright. There is also a booming state-run and several privately owned social worker's and welfare organizations who help out working parents - help consists of social workers and babysitters mostly.

As can be seen, we keep very accurate tracks on how our smallest are treated and if the parent in question has already been blacklisted by any of those organizations, and this is a repeated offense, then it would be a "small" offense of child abuse and a permanent supervisor to the household would be appointed. If it grows into a "serious" offense, the parent in question might either lose his citizenship and child, if he, again, doesn't go into rehab and seeks professional help which is easliy available, or just the child.

But most such cases aren't really investigated if it happens in this fashion in a public space - the serious offenses happen at home and we have many ways of keeping track of that.

8. Nihilists

"Why fade away if you can burn out?" - as the famous quote says. First, the chance that such a person would survive even the first shot he places on someone else, as, remeber, eveybody here is armed, is miniscule. A emotionally disturbed person wouldn't have easy access to a gun as he would lack a weapon permit, and buying one illegally is very expensive and difficult and quite easy to trace.

Yet, if it, somehow happened, he would be sent into rehabilitation. The last case of such an event was in 1983 in Bremen where 3 people were wounded and one killed. The offender was successfully "cured" and he spend the rest of his life to help his victims and their decendants. Today, there is a private nonprofit organization which functions as a rehab center and a financial support group for victims which was founded by that very offender - the Klagemann Gesellschaft, based in Bremen.

The nation of Andorianus thinks it's more important that crime should be contained, not be punished. The criminals are people too, and they probably have a reason for commiting the crime.

After a criminal group was caught smuggling drugs into the nation, they have been apprehended by your authorities. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

All of the group members will be banished from the state. They will be given 3 weeks to pack their belongings and move to another nation of choice. (Every member can decide for their own which country to move to.) Normally they go to that nation with a ship, unless the country they want to move to is not accesible by sea, or if the man or woman is suffering from seasickness. They will also have to pay a fine of twice the worth of the drugs they were smuggling. The group needs to pay this fine together. If they do not have sufficient money, they will have to pay as much as they can, and 200 Ando will be returned so that they can sustain their normal lives. Their passports and the drugs will be destroyed.

A notorious serial killer that has traveled around your nation, killing entire families with an apparently non-existent conscience. He has been arrested by your authorities, and is found guilty. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

The killer will have a psigological evaluation and will be send to a special prison for psigiatrisch people. Most likely, he will never be able to enter normal society again. His weapons will be seized.

A serial sex offender has been found, on violation of house arrest orders to have been walking around a school zone. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

A warning. If it happens again, the offender will have to follow a special therapy. If that doesn't help, he will have to go to a special prison for psigiatrisch people, for an unknown amount of time (possibly lifelong). ALTERNATIVE: The same happens, but without the warning.

A paid assassin has just attempted to take the life of one of your nation's most hated politicians and activists. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

The assasin will be given 3 weeks to pack their belongins and move to another nation of choice. His passport will be destroyed, and his weapons seized. His boss will be on the international list for terrorists; other countries that follow this list will have to decide what to do with him.

A media outlet online has routinely posted libel and unproven rumors. They started as harmless, but have instantly become what could be considered criminal. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

A fine of 300 Ando (currency: 1 ando = 2.34 USD) for spreading opinions through hate, and an additional 50 Ando for doing this on national television. If the TV station will continue this trend within 60 days, another penalty is given and it is increased with 150 additional Ando.

Two men have been caught abusing and neglecting animals that include numerous dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

The men will be given a fine of 300 Ando. If it happens again, they will be banned from the state.

In a public supermarket or market, a parent dealt with an unruly child by slapping him on the face and jerking him around, as an onlooker reported the incident as being "shocking and what should be criminal." What is tour nation's punishment for this situation?

A psigiator (paid by the state's justitial department) and the parent's lawyer will together judge the situation. In the worst case, the child The child must go to the orphanage and have a psighological evaluation. After at least 2 weeks of evaluation, the child may go to a john family. The parent will also follow a psighological evaluation. In the worst case, the parent will have to follow a special therapy and may never visit the child again.

The man needs a psigological evaluation, in most cases folowed by a special therapy. In the worst case this also means he will have to go to a prison for psigiatrisch people, for 2-5 years. His weapons will be seized.

Smuggling is a serious crime since Rejistania's national revenue depends almost excusively on the VAT. As such, 5 years in prison are completely justified if this is not the first time but a regular occurance. If it is the first time, they would just have to pay twice the import duties.

Rejistania has no 'school zones' and no limits on freedom of movement unless someone actually is imprisoned. So, he was free, he was walking around, he committed sex crimes but was released from prison. He is allowed to do that.
The alternative would depend on the crime. Exhibitionism would be perfectly legal, while rape would mean a life sentence (without parole if the victim was prepuberscent or mentally incompetent).

It depends on several things A) what drug and B) how much. But it ranges from 1 year to 50 years

A notorious serial killer that has traveled around your nation, killing entire families with an apparently non-existent conscience. He has been arrested by your authorities, and is found guilty. What is your nation's punishment for this situation?

It depends. In my nation the death penalty is only legal if it is approved by democratic vote of the entire nation. So if we voted a 55% majority he could be given the death penalty. If not he would be given life in prison.

None, Motokata would support the parent for keeping his/her child in order with a little discipline. However if it was much worse than that causing full injury (if the child was pushed into a display of cans punched in the face etc) the parent would be arrested and lose custody of the child. OR if the parent was on any controled substance regardless of the situation he/she would be arrested and the child removed.

We don't "arrest" him; that act is not treasonous and is therefore legal. However, since he has shown the ability to win singlehandedly against heavily-armed defenders, the Military would be highly interested in his abilities.

He would be recruited (if not yet in the Military [we have conscription]) and sent on missions to slaughter enemy villages. As a ruthless exterminator, he could count on being promoted to a very high rank - providing he accepted this redirection of his deadly skills and refrains from deleting more Decepticon citizens.

If he cannot be trained to kill only enemies, eventually he would happen upon some citizens more skilled than himself, and they would terminate him.

They are taken to the Debugging Center. Anyone who would bother abusing such insignificantly-small things almost surely has glitches. (We're about 100 feet tall, so abusing a hamster would be like torturing a mite.)

If no glitches are found, they are released since the only thing that's illegal for citizens is treason, and animal abuse isn't treasonous.

They would, however, face societal ostracism and possibly extra violence from other citizens for being such a wuss as to attack such tiny and unchallenging creatures. We would also think their acts were very bizarre!

The citizens wouldn't detain this crazy bot, they would blast back! Since he is highly outnumbered, he would likely be turned into shrapnel long before he had a chance to try to delete himself.

If, for some reason, he managed to escape that form of death, there would be no way to prevent his suicide. He wouldn't need a weapon to do so; he would simply run the Fatal Command (rm dir -r -f) and effectively erase himself from his own system.

Forensic specialists would examine what they could recover of his Code to determine when the errors developed. If they were found to result from mistakes made by his Coder, that Coder would be banned from writing any more programs intended to be sapient.

It is more likely, though, that such glitches would arise from the bot's inept attempts to modify his own Code (thereby driving himself insane), rather than the Code being originally written that way. In this case, there would be no further action beyond taking his deactivated shell to the Foundry for recycling.
