Fine. We'll all just go back to building earthen huts, then, yes?

If you light a fire and destroy somebody else's property just to amuse yourself, then you will pay a price. If somebody is killed as a result, then you will really pay a price.

There is no criminal statute pertaining specifically to arson. Destruction of life or property by means of fire is legally the same as the same performed using a hammer, a vehicle, or anything else: The perpetrator must pay compensation of equal or greater value to the damage caused, and if this exceeds his projected ability to do so, then he is sentenced to death. "You Break It, You Buy It" is a cornerstone of the legal system here.

The minimum sentence for arson is a lifetime of heavy labor in the penal factories. If anyone is found to be injured as a result of the arson—even so much as a bruise—then the sentence is death by asphyxiation, and the offender's organs are donated to needy children; such is the fair and compassionate justice of the Imperium.

Even in cases where there are no injuries, any victim who has lost property in the arson can choose a death sentence for the offender.

It is now incumbent upon the leftist who wishes to see the future and a world worth living in to become acquainted with the use of firearms.

If the arsonist started the fire for money, revenge, or similar motives, he is burned to death.
If he's a psychopath that just loves fire, he's frozen to death.

That sounds similar to human nation condemning someone to death by throwing them to cage of angry chimpanzees. :p

Our answer about two months ago: Honestly, at Crumlark, you either had more money than the police or you had more guns, both ways, you get away with almost anything. If an arsonist is caught, they get put on the street in handcuffs

Our answer now: Our well funded, yet still slightly corrupt police force oblitherates the crimanals(including arsonists) in any way they wish, and if they are bored enough, they will actually do it the legal way and get him publicly executed, with arsonists, any remaining survivors of the fire would be loosed upon you, if there was no survivors, the Secretary of Defense will be there instead.(not like he has anything better to do...)

Lord Barthleholme said with pride, "We generally don't get crime at all, but a recent small crime increase in the states of Southern Jarfo, Haagen Faagen, and Forestous Lovgon has led us to continue enforcing our penalties again: 18 years and a huge fine if it does not result in the death of a person, and if it does, execution by rapid depressurisation or nitrogen asphyxiation. It's not painful, but it makes them pay. Hur hur hur."

Arson is punishable by 6 months to 5 years in rehabilitation, depending on the seriousness of the crime.

Normal punishment would be depending on wether the criminal has committed additional crimes. For simple arson without any others the law calls for five to ten years of incarceration.

Do you mind explaining what the wall is?
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Hey original poster... your arsonists are set on fire? THAT IS SO EPICALLY IRONIC. Win.

^ This.

Anyway, the punishment for arson is anywhere from one to forty years in prison, determinable by the judge. If the arson results in the death of a creature, intended or not, the arsonist will also be charged with murder, which is a capital crime. Arson in and of itself, however, is not eligible to be a capital crime, unless the building burnt is a religious institution (e.g. churches, synagogues, temples, mosques), in which case it is.

The perpetrator(s) are sentenced to 1-3 years' imprisonment and must pay restitution to the property owners equal to double the cost of repairing the damage. If someone dies as a result of the arson, 5-10 years' imprisonment if it was unintentional and up to 30 years if it was intentional (in both cases, restitution must be paid to the victims' families).

OOC - I'd love to see that, considering raptors are only about 1ft 6 (and very definitely not how they were depicted in the Jurassic Park films). Especially since I'm 5ft 3.

IC - A fine of CL£5,000 and two years' at His Majesty's pleasure. (If someone was killed, this goes up to at least CL£20,000 and ten years inside.)
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Treated through reparations to the property owner, of course, in addition to whatever the findings of the court of law subscribes, which may include fines to a "reasonably noted point that changes the position of the party found guilty", community service, or other things short of incarceration or any sort of capital punishment (both of which may not be imposed for any offense, public or tort).

In the event where even only property is damaged by fire, one can be charged with terrorism by threatening our highly-crowded planet's Carbon-sequestration project among other things. Punishments for terrorism range from a lifetime of hard labour to capital punishment.

Should the arson result in a death of the property's occupants, the arsonist will simply be executed for murder and terrorism upon condemnation.
