How do I get capital punishment in my causes of death?

Postby Wiewawoe » Wed Jun 08, 2016 3:15 am

So I've clicked answers to issues several times that included executing people, but I've never gotten "capital punishment" as one of my Leading Causes of Death in the stats. I made a different nation recently where I didn't purposefully pick any options to do with capital punishment, yet I suddenly have "capital punishment" as one of my causes of death for that other nation, and not for Wiewawoe (I think this happened when I legalized dueling in my other nation, though I don't see why this would also legalize death penalty…).

To cut it short: I'd like to know which options to which issues will give me "capital punishment" as a cause of death in my nation.

I just clicked an issue option that's supposed to give my citizens death penalty even for minor crimes (death penalty isn't even for minor crimes in Wiewawoe, but I only picked that option because I wanted capital punishment in my leading causes of death), but even that didn't add it to the pie chart. Which issue answers to any issues do do this?

Maybe it's just that your crime rate is so low that there's nobody to punish.

Is that even a possibility. Have you seen anyone else with that listed as a cause of death? The game may well not have it as an option.

You would have to have an awful lot of executions for them to become a leading cause, and it is not possible to list every possibility.

As of right now, my second-top cause of death is capital punishment and the top cause is disappearance. http://www.nationstates.net/nation=vict ... ail=people

How? Be a brutal dictatorship that responds to all dissent by killing the dissidents. Also, if someone wheedlingly asks for "less dictatorship, please," kill him, too. Along with anyone else who dares to look at a picture of the Great Leader wrong. Also kill any other criminals that show up. (To up "disappearance," massively overfund the secret police and gut the budget of the regular police.)

Keep doing that over and over again for months and years.

Meanwhile - put money into lowering unwanted causes of death. Make vaccines mandatory, put everyone with VODAIS in the camps, etc. Just don't go so overboard that you turn into a socialist state; you don't want some BS doves-and-roses stuff sprouting up and wrecking your efforts.

Of course, to allow enough criminals to exist to get lots of them killed by the state, you need to kneecap the regular police. Cut their funding and close the jails. Meanwhile, make it so lots of things are considered criminal so there's a huge pool of targets to execute.

Looking at my graph, I see that plain old "murder" is insufficiently high for my tastes. Canonically, Decepticons die mostly because of violence, but it's not really supposed to be State violence that's doing it. They're supposed to get killed while raiding (the piracy kind). So my graph should change in the future because I like to try to make it match my RP canon at least to a point.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

No thanks. That place is definitely on my "avoid" list.

That is impressive (in a sick sort of way): The highest rate that I could remember anybody boasting about before this was "only" 75%...

I guess I don't have capital punishment as a listed cause of death because my police force is so well-funded. This actually makes sense with (canon) Wiewawoe, since not very many people are actually executed. I guess I should just keep it that way, and not pick options for the sole purpose of adding capital punishment to the pie chart, but pick whatever option Wiewawoe would pick, like I do most of the time.

So I guess it's okay if capital punishment isn't listed in the chart. I wish I could get bungee jumping out of there, though. There isn't even any plastic in Wiewawoe to bungee jump with… I tried banning bungee jumping, but it's still there…
