[The Nation State of Korea]

In the Nation State of Korea,

• The Emperor, the head of state, is hereditary. The first and the incumbent Emperor was enthroned by a national referendum for constitutional amendment.
  
• The Prime Minister, the head of government, is directly elected by the people and formally appointed by the Emperor. This position is similar to presidents of presidential republics but the Prime Minister is not the head of state.
  
• Appointment of the Deputy Prime Minister, the deputy head of government, is complicated.
  
  • First, the majority of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Parliament, recommends one Deputy Prime Minister candidate.
    
  • Second, the Prime Minister formally petitions the Emperor for appoint the candidate as the Deputy Prime Minister.
    
  • Third, the Emperor formally appoints the candidate as the Deputy Prime Minister.
    
  • This procedure is devised to prevent the Prime Minister's "self-righteousness" and to encourage harmonious governance among the Prime Minister and the parliament.
    

[Malphe]

Horsell Campersitis. Horsell is the name of a town, Campersitis is a bastardization of some taxonomic name.

[Radiatia]

Most likely a random name generator with certain settings that I use for all character names.

The character was invented a long time ago as a minor and comic character and I dug him up years later and made him President because I liked him.

[The Church of Satan]

Mine is an amalgamation of Anton Lavey and a title in The Church of Satan itself.

[Japan and Pacific States]

I really enjoyed Muv-Luv, even before I actually finally got the chance to read through the VNs on Steam, though for the longest while I thought Meiya was the Shogun of Japan in Muv-luv: Unlimited and Alternative.... Kinda dropped the ball there, turns out it's her sister (of whom doesn't exist in Extra until Altered Fable which is after Alternative) is the Shogun I uh... Had to kinda rectify that. ...Though most other characters that I use for the JPS are all from Muv-Luv's main story series or from it's side stories. ...Technically most everything related to JPS is from Muv-luv, except for the history though.

[Kurveztchxistan]

A quick and painless bullet to the back of the head for minor crimes. Other execution methods include burning alive, crucifixion, hanging and beheading.

[The Federation of Kendor]

Quick and humane forks of punishments, like lethal injection with chemical that will kill the condemned quickly (the condemned will also be rendered unsconcious with anesthesia before the execution), or firing squad, with a single and precise shot to the brain, specifically at the the area of the head where the bullet will pass through the area of the brain responsible for consciousness and organ function

[Kaine Futendra]

Methods of execution in Kaine Futendra include the following:

• Hanging
• Drawn and quartered
• Burning at the stake
• Shooting
• Beheading
• Iron maiden (Yes this is an execution device, not a torture device. It is fairly bad a torture considering it is designed to impale vital organs)
• Death by rattlesnake
• Disembowelment
• Flaying
• Stoning
• Dropped onto magma
• Blown from a cannon
• Crushing
• Dehydration
• Exile into desert without food or water
• Death by leeches
• Fed to barracudas
• Autocannibalism

These methods may be combined, such as hanged, drawn, and quartered.

[Vallermoore]

What are the ranks of your armed forces?

[Aldina]

Long-drop hanging, the electric chair, decapitation by guillotine (rare), and the firing squad (mostly relegated to military executions).

[Pauxia]

The most common method of execution is Firing Squad. Gas chamber is the least common.

[Fam-Friendly State]

they kill themselves in Police custody lol

[Sefy the Great]

The higher you pay the guards, the more likely a painless death. on a scale of 1 to 7,from most to least painful:
1: chemical weapon testing. that nerve gas needs to work, DAMMIT.
2: get torn apart by wild animals as you fight for your life! this one has a chance of surviving.
3: BURN AT THE STAKE.
4: Firing Squad, all lined up with incendiary rounds!
5: Public drug testing. basically public poisoning but with a few more exotic choices, such as the insanity drug, the twitching drug, and the liquid nitrogen drug.
6: Throw you in front of the leader, who decides whether you should live or die. depending on his mood, you can either get away spot-free or get torn apart by wild horses!
7: Labor camp for the rest of your eternity. at least you'll be doing something good as you slowly die...

[Astrolinium]

No one has been executed in Astrolinium for decades. If the King were to decree an execution, he would also select the method at that time, and it is likely that he would choose lethal injection.

[Moderated Macroeconomis]

every single execution method for all crimes

it's a decentralised society based on clans (e.g. mass effect krogan or clan-based socieites in the medieval times)

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

Since the formation of the CTM, capital punishment has never been legal.

[The Fifth American Republic]

The death penalty must be measured by the crime, therefore we have incorporated a strike system into our death trials.

S0- strike code that identifies the severity of the crime

S0- basic crimes, misunderstandings, false arrests, warrentless searches

S1- first time offense
(For rape, murder, kidnapping)

Death penalty illegal, unless the crime is a scene of total brutality.

S2- serial offenders
(For rape and murder)

Death penalty recommended

S3- celebrities
(For rape or murder)

Prison sentence of 15 years, then a death trial to determine if the death penalty should be used.

S4- illegal immigrant

Death penalty mandatory after 3rd illegal entry. 1 year maximum prison sentence for the first two illegal entires.

S5- severe carnage

For crimes that force a potential juror that requires therapy after learning of the details of a case.

1 year for each juror traumatized and 15 years for the crime until the death trial

S6- officers

Maximum of 15 years in jail depending on the crime committed. Worst case scenario an officer could be put on death trial if the crime is bad enough.

S7- a combination of strikes

S7.4.1.5- an illegal immigrant that commits a severely save crime with no record of violence prior

S7.3.2- a celebrity that has commuted several heinous crimes

S7.6.2.5- an officer that commits several heinous crimes

Various combinations all receiving 12- half life sentences before death trial.

[Greto]

Capital punishment in the Republic is carried out by both provincial and federal authorities. Provinces range on the method of execution but generally electrocution and firing squad are the sanctioned methods. The Province of Mombasa is the notable exception being the only province that has abolished capital punishment. The federal government mandates that only the firing squad is to be sanctioned for federal inmates, with lethal injection reserved for sickly inmates who are unable to stand.

[Baudevaux]

Capital punishment in Baudevaux was constitutionally abolished in 1968.

[Garden at 6th Mile Road]

What are the ranks of your armed forces?

Given the lack of an army, we don't exactly have that. The only resident is Stralend en Wonderbaarlijk Licht Koningin Holly Aurora Symantha Vreugde Lavender Astrid Lilac Marlie Nova Radiant Starlight, who actually in turn controls the entire dimension and her clone army, if needed.

Stralend en Wonderbaarlijk Licht Koningin being "Bright and Wonderful Light Queen".

A few questions of my own:

What is the annual energy consumption of your nation?
How much energy does your nation have?
What form of energy is the most prevalent (Coal/Oil/Solar/Wind/etc...)?
Cost of energy (e.g. NS$ 0.01 / Watt):

My own response would be:

What is the annual energy consumption of your nation? Holly consumes about 10⁴⁰⁰ Joules of energy per year.

How much energy does your nation have? ∞ Joules of useful energy. Low estimate indicates that there is AT LEAST a good SSCG(3) ↑^TREE(3) g₆₄ Joules of energy, where g₆₄ = Graham's Number, TREE(n) = TREE sequence, SSCG(n) = Friedman's SSCG function, and a ↑ⁿ b = Knuth's Up-Arrow Notation.

What form of energy is the most prevalent (Coal/Oil/Solar/Wind/etc...)?: Light Energy, so practically Solar Energy will win here.

Cost of energy (e.g. NS$ 0.01 / Watt): NS$ 0 per Joules.

[Donnegall]

Strangulation by hanging, usually a public hanging.

[Comhghall]

The sole method of execution is hanging from a tree.
