Death Penalty Index

[National Yorkshire]

The government of Yorkshire has created an index to survey the laws of the world's nations on the death penalty. Identify your nation as one of the following. In case your nation is this or this, also identify the crimes it is punishable by, the amount of executions last year and the year of the last execution in YN. If your nation is this, identify the year it was abolished for ordinary circumstances, the year of the last execution and the extraordinary circumstances it can be used for. And finally if your nation is this, identify the year it was abolished and the year of the last execution. We also recommend you add some additional information on top of the required identifications.

[Reorganized Akros]

Retentionist: We don't know the most recent execution, as most of them are summary executions conducted by the armed forces against civilian lawbreakers. However, Hulcir was the last citizen to be sentenced to death and subsequently executed, after being convicted of capital murder by a military tribunal. Most rapes and crimes against property are punished by summary execution. It should be noted that the troops have a very wide latitude as to defining rape, most of them choosing to keep a narrow definition of forcible rape. Pedos, however, tend to be ruthlessly stamped out. Date rape is rarely, if ever, punished. Most frequently, executions are carried out by single pistol or rifle shots to the back of the head.

[Vallermoore]

Retentionist:We use the death penalty for a number of crimes.

-First degree murder (a jury can find someone guilty of non-capital murder if they think the person guilty but not deserving death.)
-First degree rape (a jury can find someone guilty of non-capital rape if they think the person guilty but not deserving death. Execution for rape is relatively rare.)
-First degree paedophilia (a jury can find someone guilty of non-capital paedophilia if they think the person guilty but not deserving death.)
-First degree treason (a jury can find someone guilty of non-capital treason if they think the person guilty but not deserving death. Treason executions in modern times are pretty rare, but nine people were executed a couple of years ago for trying to blow up Parliament with gunpowder.)
-Spying in times of war only (peacetime spying deserves prison but not death.)
-Permanently paralysing someone from the neck down, if the person cannot be healed. If the person heals before the execution, the sentence is lowered to 25 years in prison.
-Drink driving that kills or results in permanently paralysing someone.

We use the gallows, the firing squad or the lethal injection for executions, and bury the body in the prison grounds. Executions are semi-public. We have about a hundered a year, mostly for murder.

[Radiatia]

Radiatia could now be classed as Abolitionist in Practice as although the death penalty remains on the books under federal law, there has not been an execution carried out in a federal prison for over 20 years.

38 out of 46 states also have the death penalty, but there has not been an execution carried out by a state government for over 5 years.

[Aikoland]

Abolitionist in Law

Capital punishment was abolished in all circumstances in 1976. The last person executed in Aikoland was Georges Bourdon, who was executed via guillotine for murder in 1958.

At the time of its abolishment, the death penalty was the maximum sentence for murder, terrorism, and treason. Executions could be carried out either via the guillotine or via firing squad, with the last execution by firing squad occurring in 1951.

Since the abolishment of capital punishment, Aikoland has become party to Protocol 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which restricts the application of the death penalty to wartime or the imminent threat of war, and Protocol 13, which completely abolishes the death penalty. In addition, Amendment XII to the Constitution of the Empire of Aikoland, adopted 2009, constitutionally forbids the reintroduction of the death penalty to Aikoland.

[Wess Islandia]

Abolitionist except in extreme circumstances
Death penalty is conducted by the federal government ONLY in extreme circumstances. It is done by the humane method of firing squad.

OFFENCES:
- Mass murder/serial killing
- Terrorism
- War crimes

Hi, it would be helpful if you could detail what crimes are punishable by death, the precise date of the last execution anywhere in YN. You also have to have an established official or unofficial policy of not carrying out executions in the entirity of YN to be orange rather than red.

Mass murder and some cases of terrorism are ordinary criminal offences, though, unless done under specific circumstances.

A poll is up!

[Albyn]

The Kingdom of Albyn is a retentionist state.

Technically the death penalty is a possible sentence for a large variety of crimes, including armed robbery at night, pimping, sewing unrest, and other less obviously capital crimes. However, in practice, the death penalty is only mandatory in cases of murder, treason, aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, sexual offences against children under the age of 13, and certain military crimes during times of war. In other cases, the penalty is applied according to a principle known as videtur illi ("it seems [appropriate] to him"), where the penalty may be imposed at the presiding judge's discretion.

Executions are carried out by hanging in most cases, except for those convicted of treason and parricide, when it is beheading. For capital military crimes, the method is firing squad. There also exists a separate statutory penalty for regicide and attempted regicide (the successful murder or an attempt at murdering the person of the monarch himself), which is to be hung until almost dead, taken off the scaffold, have the right hand severed, and then be beheaded. This punishment has not been used since 1805. The most recent execution took place in June 2019, when Mark Jamesson was hanged and Martha Wicksdaughter-of-Haroldsson was beheaded for the murder of Martha's husband, Harold Haroldsson. In 2018, 41 people were executed, 36 of them for murder.

[Great Nortend]

Great Nortend retains the use of capital punishment for felonies. Certain felonies, deemed “high felonies” have mandatory capital punishment upon conviction. Many high felonies are also “corruptible felonies” which means that a plea of mens corrupta can be used in order to move the case to the ecclesiastical courts, which do not employ capital punishment, but have a lower standard of proof. However, forestal, murder and other premeditated crimes are deemed “incorruptible”. Even upon sentence to death, the executand may appeal to the King for mercy. Executions are usually via hanging, although burning, arrow shot and being hanged, drawn and quartered are appropriate for certain crimes.

[Lillorainen]

The Federation of Lillorainen can be considered 'Abolitionist In Practice'. According to the legal code of the Federation (and its constituent states), the death penalty can (but doesn't have to!) be applied as a punishment for the offenses of murder, formation of a terrorist organization, war crimes, and rape. While there was a number of executions in the 1980s and 1990s, especially for the offenses of war crimes (in the Civil War, 1974 to 1976) and terrorism (like the assassination of President Marie Seelscheid in 1994), there have been multiple years in a row without any executions anywhere in the Federation since then.
The usual method of execution is firing squad.
The last execution (so far) took place on May 22, 2017, in Saskilde (Visholm); Carsten Lindweiler was accused of an attempt to commit a terrorist act - he was found guilty of trying to blow a highway bridge up and shooting two policemen on his attempt to escape.
The death penalty is very likely to remain in the Federation's legal code as an optional alternative to life-long prison sentence.

[Union of Sovereign States and Republics]

CERTIFIED Retentionist: The Soviet Union has refrained from executions in the past few decades, following the fall of Khrushchev and Stalin. Executions still happen rarely, but they've mostly been abandoned except in exceptional circumstances. The death penalty is not illegal, however, but most crimes do not result in execution. The only crimes that carry a risk of execution, which execution is not guaranteed, are high treason, assassination of a public official, and attempted assassination of a public official. The last official execution was in 2002 after over 10 years without, where 5 individuals noted to have been connected with the Moscow bombings and attempted assassination of then-president Gorbachev were killed by firing squad; the only legal method of execution within the USSR.

Is the last execution in 2019 USSR in 2002, or is that in 2003 USSR?

Is the last execution in 2019 USSR in 2002, or is that in 2003 USSR?

It would be both, actually. I don't plan on any other executions happening.

Edit: For simplicity's sake, though, let's put it in 2003 USSR, because I may end up changing that.

The most recent executions were both in 1950(the IC current year),
There were ten of them.
The military executed a rapist who was in Korea and had the rank Lieutenant and Louisiana executed a member of the Louisiana Black Jaguar Party for “rioting” during one of their patrols,
6 rapists were also executed in Louisiana and one rapist and one murderer in Kentucky.
Last year there were 20, 17 rapists and 3 communist spies.
The method for civilians and sometimes military crimes is electrocution.
Firing squad is allowed for mutiny, drug trafficking and murder in the military and national guard of the offender is repentant and the judge rules mitigating factors.

Oh, okay, despite being pretty extraordinary for this time? Well, since the FL doesn't intend to change anything about the status quo anytime soon, I can also live with being classified red. ^^

To be orange you need no executions within the last 10 years and there being a moratorium or some other established consensus of not carrying out executions (my nation didn't meet the orange rating despite not having executed anyone for 88 years, because there is no moratorium and the government has said it is prepared to carry out necessary executions, but the death penalty was only brought back a few months ago, so such a case hasn't occured).
