[Mambenga]

Retentionist. The following crimes carry the death penalty in Mambenga: Treason; espionage; secession; insurrection; aggravated murder; premeditated murder; kidnapping resulting in the death of the victim; rape; terrorism; piracy; assassination; repeated assault on or negligence of a child resulting in death; making a false accusation leading to a person being sentenced to death; destruction of military facilities resulting in death; imposing superstitious trials by ordeal resulting in death; witchcraft; drug trafficking; human trafficking; war crimes; genocide; crimes against humanity; and some military crimes.

The two prescribed methods of execution are hanging and firing squad. Many executions are carried out in public. Pregnant women, people 17 years of age or younger, and the mentally ill are (in theory) exempt from the death penalty. The last execution was carried out on May 17, 2019. 43 executions have been carried out in 2019 so far.

[The Great United Columbia]

Abolitionist in law.
The death penalty was abolished in 1989 by the Mondale Administration and the Great Columbian Congress with a Social-Labor majority.
The last person to be executed in Columbia was convicted serial killer and rapist Lawrence Abbott, who was executed via firing squad in the state of Utah one month before the death penalty was abolished.

[Mockia]

We're abolitionist in practice, because we're unable to afford the execution methods.

[Gandoor]

Abolitionist in Law

Capital punishment was abolished in the Democratic Republic in 2003, following a referendum which saw 86% voting in favour of its abolition. The last execution in the Democratic Republic was in 1997, when Minoru Takino was executed for having murdered twenty-three people between 1984 and 1987.

The death penalty was the maximum penalty for murder or treason, although only one person had ever been executed for treason in the history of the modern Democratic Republic: Alexander Winters, who was executed in 1964 for attempting to give state secrets to Soviet spies.

At the time of its abolishment, three people were on death row in our nation, all of whom had their sentences automatically commuted to the new maximum sentence, seventy-five years imprisonment.

All executions were carried out via hanging.

I updated my original post.

[Victorious Decepticons]

Retentionist.

The only thing illegal in Victorious Decepticons is treason, but our definition of treason goes far beyond the usual "helping the enemy." Someone can be executed for things like:

Attempting to undermine the Decepticon government or its Leader in any way whatsoever. This includes saying bad things about it/him, protesting, pushing for democracy, and any other kind of that nonsense. Of course, more-obvious and braver methods, like trying to blast Leader Megatron into a pile of scorched metal shards, also count as treason.

Insulting any aspect of Decepticon-ness, Leader Megatron, or the government as a whole - None of us are lily-livered wimps who'll stand for being insulted. Note that throwing insults around is likely to get you energy-blasted by a random infuriated person long before the government's death squads will reach you. However, if you manage to avoid death-by-patriot, the government WILL bother to defend Decepticon honor.

Attempting to undermine Decepticon Culture, commonly known as Cultural Corrosion - So, you think it's "terrible" that we're raiders of other planets, have slavery, and think of the weak as walking hunks of scrap to capture and sell to foundries? Or maybe you think we should have laws against things like robbery, murder, or fraud? Really?? Well, you'd better keep it entirely to yourself, even inside your own home, or your Metal will be reclaimed for use by REAL Decepticons!

Weakening the Nation - This covers speaking ill of any wars we're in or are likely to get into, attempting to convince anyone that we either won't win or will suffer too many casualties, advocating pacifism, and other lily-livered garbage like that, but it doesn't stop there. Weakening the Nation also bans the production of weak offspring, purposely miscoding such offspring so that they are incompatible with standard Decepticon values, or abusing one's offspring. This protection of offspring is to ensure that we do not produce or create WIMPS!

Snitching - No snitchin'. It's the law. It is also against Decepticon culture in all ways. Snitching to foreigners about Decepticon plans will bring an especially speedy hostile response from the government - but if it's a traitor that you're tempted to snitch on, still don't do it. Decepticon Combined Intelligence is not some impotent, incompetent organization, and does not need the 'help' of self-important, culturally-corrosive civilians to do its job. The already-existing surveillance system will detect any traitors on its own just fine.

Standard Treason - If you help the enemy, including by trying to stir up sentiment in their favor, it's treason. Same goes for selling State secrets, leaking classified information, and anything else along those lines.

Being a Foreign Agent - They may not be traitors to their own country, but they're close enough to being traitors to ours that we fold it into the same law-set. These scum have to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Execution method: Officially, meltdown. The offender is literally melted down at a foundry, and his metal is recycled. How long this process takes depends on the severity of the offense, with a "fast drop" and subsequent nearly-instant unconsciousness due to circuit overheating being the most "humane," for lack of a better word.

In practice, most offenders die in a street battle to the death against the squad sent to bring them to the foundry. It often takes a lot of work to bring someone in alive, just to delete them. However, this will be attempted if the offender is a very high-profile subject. Cowards who don't fight are also melted down in the official way.

Foreign Agents are typically killed in a very unique way: They are forcibly mind-transferred to computer boards, which kills their biological bodies in the process, and their Code (the code their minds are made of, and most importantly, all of their memories) is read off of a screen during the process. Anything important to us is recorded. Their new boards - where their minds now reside - are then melted down in a small smelting cauldron right in the Domestic Intelligence office. This completely finishes off the captured spy(ies) - while allowing us to learn everything possible from them in a way that deprives them of any opportunity to lie.

Notably, those who want to appeal an execution order have to first yell "I APPEAL TO MEGATRON" and then surrender. If Leader Megatron does not grant the appeal, the offender is then already captured, so it's a simple matter to terminate him in the official way. (Foreign agents do not have the option to attempt an appeal.) If the appeal IS granted, the result is the same as a pardon - the captive is set free. He will, of course, be under heavy surveillance after this.

All executions are not only holovised live on all channels - the regular programming is actually interrupted to show them. We don't want any conspiracy theorists seeming legit if they claim that anyone got away when they didn't!

How Many Executions per Year: There are only about 20 executed per year, whether by meltdown or government-initiated street battle. Most of these are guilty of attempting to undermine or overthrow the government, but occasionally, there is a case that actually manages to shock this nation. Such cases typically fall into one of the other categories of treason.

When was the Last Execution? About two months ago. There are only a few every year, but they come in a fairly steady trickle.

[Greater Cosmicium]

Retentionist.

Greater Cosmicium uses the death penalty for a large variety of crimes, and the amount of crimes punishable by death is growing every year. 22.146 quintillion (22,146,000,000,000,000,000) people were executed in 1072915 alone. Executions are generally performed by an automated firing squad that dispatches drones to execute the person right after the omniscient surveillance system detects the crime, except for traitors, who are executed by having their body parts slowly and painfully ripped off until they are nearly dead, then they are forced to inhale a gas that causes unimaginable levels of agony until they die from suffocation.

[The Land of the Ephyral]

═───╡❖╞────────═ THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE FREEHOLD ═────────╡❖╞───═

---

Of the time of publication, the RP year the Freehold is in is 1955.

The Senate and Freeborn Landholders of Ephyra has, since its inception in 1626, reserved the use of capital punishment to deal with certain classes of criminals. The crimes that historically could warrant death have shifted back and forth, but the punishment remains in use.

Methods of execution vary, but often take place publicly, as viewing an execution is regarded as both a form of entertainment and a social inoculation to violence which the prevailing Selian Classicalist philosophy regards as the essence of life. An Ephyral citizen sentenced to death for a capital crime will be executed by the sword, and is offered the opportunity to inflict this death himself as a privilege and means of retaining at least some honour in death, however this is not afforded if the crime is treason. If refused, the citizen would be executed publicly with a single sword thrust delivered between the shoulder and collarbone in the gladiatorial arena. Non-citizens are not afforded this right of suicide, and for the same crimes as citizens will be executed by sword publicly. As part of the Lenaleos Reforms during the Second Ephyral Spring, female Ephyral citizens were also granted the right to commit suicide as their means of execution, facing the same fate as men if they refuse.

Death through combat, though sounding honourable as a means of execution, is in fact not because of its nature as a public spectacle. In the same arena a convicted criminal can receive a more dignified and swift death, those whose crimes carry elements of moral abhorrence or are treasonous to the state are forced to fight until they die in the arena, usually poorly armed and equipped to ensure the sentence is carried out but without making the show boringly swift. The application of this penalty to women is the only instance in which females take to the sands with a weapon, as the concept of female gladiators is regarded as immoral and perverse. This method of execution for women remains controversial but hasn't been exercised on a woman for over a century.

Burning is a rarely applied and specially earned penalty given only to the priestesses of Lysharar's virgin cult of the hearth who violate their vows of chastity. Briefly, the order represents the absolute control and restraint of female sexuality in conjunction with the stability of the state, due to the importance of the family and its legitimacy, and the symbolic aspects of the hearth-fire. They tend the sacred hearth in the capital, and keep its fire burning. To allow the fire to go out is to risk divine abandonment in the eyes of the citizenry and the state, but does not warrant this punishment or indeed any death penalty, however death during the actual punishment is not unheard of. Burning is applied when the virgin priestess violates her vow of chastity and takes a lover. Historic occurrences of this are few and only twice in the Freehold's history has a priestess been convicted of this. As the blood of Lysharar's priestesses cannot be spilled, they are burned. Means of this have varied but the Freehold borrowed from other practitioners of the sentence and opted for burning at the stake. The fire used is always from the sacred hearth itself, used to purify the disgraced priestess and placate divine abandonment or wrath. The penalty for being the one to participate in the violation of a priestess' vow is also death, but exercised through combat.

A non-exhaustive list of the crimes which carry the death penalty include; the murder of an Ephyral or Lykosian citizen; the rape of a citizen woman; the rape of a citizen male below the age of majority; harming any individual declared sacrosanct by virtue of office; various acts of treason against the state including espionage, fighting for the enemy, sabotage, and others; violating the vow of a virgin priestess of Lysharar; proven acts of atheism; and others.

The essence of Ephyral culture and state religion imbues crimes with a certain abstract quality of abhorrence and disgrace beyond the punishment issued in the living world, due to a belief in an afterlife and a non-Abrahamic style of divine judgement. The manner of execution is scaled to fit severity but far less emphasis is placed on this than the execution itself ensuring justice to the living, before passing the criminal over to face judgement in death as all do.

So far in 1955, twenty-three people have been executed across the Freehold, the majority of these from a fugitive band of slaves whose crimes included the murder of Ephyral citizens, and the abduction and rape of three citizen women. There has not been a year since the Second Ephyral Spring, beginning 1940 (and arguably continuing still) that an individual was not executed, owing perhaps to the size of the Freehold.

Lethal injection didn't exist in 1950, so I'll just say electrocution and shooting.

Seems reasonable

[Islaevia]

Islaevia is abolicionist in practice. Courts continue to hand out death sentences, but they are always commuted to life imprisonment. The current political establishment took power in 1986 (after the fall of a short-lived communist regime), then the last execution took place in 1988.

Treason, espionage, war crimes, and genocide all have mandatory death sentences (in theory). Drug trafficking (since 2018) and murder or rape with aggravating circumstances may also lead to a death sentence. Islaevian law explicitly bans executing underage (<18) offenders and senior citizens who committed a capital crime after their 65th birthday. Foreigners may only be executed for any of the crimes carrying a mandatory death sentence.

Islaevian law does not mention the de facto moratorium in place, so the lack of executions is more of an informal rule. A similar informal rule imposes a de facto ban on executing women since circa 1900.

Executions would be theoretically carried out through firing squad.

[Saranidia]

Whilst there is a moratorium on executions in effect it is still retentionist for these purposes.
The crimes it is theoretically an option for include:
1st degree(pre-meditated, wilful and malicious) murder at the request of the victim’s family

Terrorist, racist or sexual murder or child murder

Child Rape

Aggravated rape including sex trafficking


Treason in wartime


Other aggravated child sexual offences

Non-consensual/forced pornography

Selling drugs to children

Certain military offences(E.g. cowardice)

Genocide

Last year(2050) there were 50 executions.

This year(2051) there were none.

The methods are supposed to be up to the condemned person but include: guillotine, firing squad, gas chamber and long drop hanging.
