But I thought Norwegians were huge on the rule of law, forgiveness, and rehabilitation

Or did I read too much into the code?

Oh Norwegians have been really into that since being independent (being nice and forgiving that is). But I'll bring back an example I said earlier, Quisling. I man so hated that his name means traitor, a man so hated in Norway that they basically brought back the peacetime death penalty for. This scenario you brought about Hitler 2.0 but with magic, quite a bit worse then some shameful collaborator.

For centuries they have kept there darker side done. Seeking to forget their once brutal way of life. But one Queen/Mafioso will cause them to shake things up.

Is this the part they call the Norway arc?

Where multiple groups plot and fight to take control of the prisoner and the rule of law is tested?

I was thinking more Die Hard meets Footloose, but that's probably a better idea.

The threat of her magic, combined with the clear genocidal intent, means that she is too dangerous to live. Russia. Death penalty.

That said, in this scenario Norway would definitely be bringing the death penalty back to take out Hitler 2: Magical Boogaloo.

wouldn't bringing the death penalty JUST to deal with one person be prejudicial?

And again Norway has the 21 years rule as a precedent to give people life in prison and has been using for quiet awhile now.. Breitvik will be in jail until he's old and grey and Hitler 2.0 over here has about the same chance of being executed in Norway as anywhere else. My argument isn't over what I or some random Norwegian think should happen, it's about what a prison sentence would look like.

Plus she probably would never make it to trial. For someone as awful as you created her end would probably happen to look like Ceaușescu's or Gaddafi's.


Zealandia.


It seems that the law has changed since Breivik.

From Wikipedia, unless there is better source:

There are three types of maximum penalty laws:

* The maximum penalty under the military penal code is life imprisonment.
* The maximum determinate penalty (civilian penal code) is 21 years' imprisonment, but only a small percentage of prisoners serve more than 14 years. Prisoners will typically get unsupervised parole for weekends after serving a third of their sentence (a maximum of 7 years) and can receive early release after serving two thirds of their sentence (a maximum of 14 years). In 2008, to fulfill its requirements under the [[Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court|Rome Statute]], Norway created a new maximal penalty of 30 years for [[crimes against humanity]].
* The indeterminate penalty (civilian penal code), called "preventive detention" (Norwegian: ''forvaring''), is set at up to 21 years' imprisonment, with no eligibility for parole for a time period not exceeding 10 years. If the prisoner is still considered dangerous after serving the original sentence, the detention can be extended by five years at a time. Renewal of the detention every five years can in theory result in ''actual'' life imprisonment. Preventive detention is used when the prisoner is deemed a danger to society and there is a great chance of his committing violent crimes in the future.However, after the minimum time period has elapsed, the offender can petition for parole once every year, and this may be granted if it is determined that he is no longer a danger to society.


So they do have a life imprisonment run by the military (irl she would probably get that).

However, the other 2 21 sentence gigs don’t sound very harsh, in fact, she could get out right?

Turn out like the Romanian dictator? Norway is not some developing country lol

The military penal code is the penal code that governs Norway's soldiers. It wouldn't be applicable to Witch Hitler.

Me being prejudicial became a moot point when she killed 12 million people with magic strong enough to take a worldwide coalition to take down. As I said, at that point she, as an individual, is a constant danger to world peace who would be very difficult to contain.

So yes, I am being so.

Looks like I may need to add a backstory to make the scenario a bit more balanced, explaining from her point of view why she felt justified...

Give me a couple of hours to hammer out the details (they will be appended to the hypothetical) along with a picture of the Witch Queen... this should inspire some additional sympathy votes I expect...
