How does your nation handle spies?

[Milltuh]

Punishment for a spy that was...
Giving away military secrets?
Death by hanging.
Giving away other governmental secrets?
Life imprisonment.
Relaying demographics/sketches of military fortifications and forts, etc.?
Life imprisonment. Possible banishment from nation, after 10 years served, for extreme good behavior, and an oath.

[Radiatia]

Pretty much as above, either imprisonment or execution depending on severity.

We're also inclined to send our own spy to the nation in question, to find out why they were spying, and demand an apology from that nation lest the relationship turn hostile.

[Radiatia]

Oh by the way, this is in the wrong forum. You want Factbooks and National Information.

[Winland]

Bribes, turn them into a double agent.

[Jothastein]

All spies not from here: dismemberment

[Beardnords]

Any and all spies found within national borders are subjected to a 7 day public shaming atop a large, metal pole. After recieving only stale bread and warm kool-aid to drink, they are then forced to work 48 hour shifts in a sweatshop. They must then fight a lion.

If they can survive all of that, they have the honor of being beheaded in the national "Hospitatlity Building."


No. Tolerance.

[The United Colonies of Earth]

A spy who gives away state secrets is imprisoned for life. A spy who didn't find out anything sensitive but was found to be a spy is deported.

[Subhumans]

If a spy is caught, he's publicially beaten. The beating is not constant, but continues from time to time, until the spy finally gives in his government secrets. Beatings could be from a simple metal pole; alternatively, an extremely high voltage charge could be sent through the infiltrator's body, prior to been extremely cold water been poured over. In addition, the executioners could spill chemicals and acids over his body, just enough to burn a small layer of dermis.

In other ways, the spy is publicly tortured, to the extent where he's little more than a dismembered body. Very heavy stuff. Subhumans don't really like it, but that's the only way to put them into fear.

[Milograd]

Any intruders in the Dh'arconian Empire are subjected to execution by 10,000 slices should they be found guilty of wrongdoing by the Milogradian High Courts. An alternative is that they be shipped back to their place of origin if it is known, but such is only done if something is provided in exchange for the spy in question.

Not warm kool-aid!!!

[Sidhae]

A captured spy is seized by the Order of Judicators, and nothing is ever heard of him again. Considering Judicator attitudes towards spies and traitors, it can be assured that his fate is most agonizing and horrifying.

[Nachfolgia]

any spy that is captured will be interrogated for any info they might have and then they are publically executed by the ObersterFuhrur.

[Ar-Rabalistan]

Life imprisonment or execution.

[Great Nepal]

We believe in free choice...
So, we put them in a room and give them a free choice:-
1. Spy for us, and our troops will turn other way while they "run away".
2. Get boiled alive.

Unless, they are from an allied nation of course. In which case we will just go to press, wave hands around and shout how that is unacceptable as well as giving few evil looks to the nation.

[Helvetica and Macedonia]

We make them disappear if you know what i mean.

[The Vagand]

Once they're discovered, we manipulate them into sending false information. Then once we're through with them we torture them until we get various confessions out. Then they are consumed.

[Krala Sau]

We don't. We've never had to. We're on our own little planet. There's no one to spy on us.

[Socialdemokraterne]

First we find out what their mission was. Then we find out what information they had already conveyed. Then we kill them.

[Reythan]

We keep them alive. Spies work well as a bargaining chip. Blackmail too.

[ROBOTIC-O-ROTICA]

We have two ways to take care of could-be spies.
First, the Tazer test.
If they flail on the ground and piss themselves, human spy.
If they pass the tazer test we do systems scan.
If they are a spy we use an EMP and turn them to food/spare parts.

[Primo Victoria]

They can either fight against their captors and die with honor, or be bound and hung, preventing their entrance to Valhalla.

[Democratic Koyro]

Spies are brutally tortured, then executed.

[TurtleShroom]

Ah, double agents, moles, and turncoats. How we all hate traitors, eh?

Punishment for a spy that was...

Giving away military secrets?

Giving away military secrets is a capital offense and a form of High Treason. The spy/traitor, be they civilian or soldier, would receive a trial before a military tribunal and, if convicted, sentenced to death. ANYTHING classified by the military and pertaining to it is a "military secret" and can not be disclosed. There are no exceptions.
Alternately, instead of death, we can keep him in military custody and use him both as a bargaining chip and as blackmail.

Giving away other governmental secrets?

That depends on the nature of the spy, the secrets he leaked, and how. However, the sunshine and purity laws of TurtleShroom protect whistleblowers from almost all prosecution of civilian secrets. (Military secrets are not so lucky, see above.)
Government secrets that involve national security, personal details of a person, witness protection, state bodyguards, and, of course, data regarding a police inquiry, are all punishable. The spy would be prosecuted in civil court and charged with felonies that would send him "up the river" for anywhere from five to fifty years.
Any other secrets, however, would result in no punishment, because he'd actually be doing the counrty a service.

Relaying demographics/sketches of military fortifications and forts, etc.?

Obviously, this would be an endangerment to TurtleShroom's defense because it would reveal potential weak spots and flaws in our designs, as well as opening the structure to exploitation and potential compromise by an enemy.
The chances are high that this would be a "military secret" and result in the punishments from the first question!

---

After their trial and before their execution, the military usually waterboards the confirmed spy to get data out of him. Waterboarding is a harsh process, of course, and it gets a lot of good information out, often more valuable than what the spy leaked.

[Cruciland]

Simple- we use a man-to-machine computer to hijack their memory, then transfer all of their secrets into our databse. After finding out about our enemies, we "recycle" them like the rest of our capital offenders. (thrown into a meat grinder for organic resources)

[Deutsche Demokratische Republik]

The Ministry for State Security handle counter-intelligence operations within the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, anyone caught attempting to spy on the republik is either arrested and tried in a military court or simply executed.
