| It's a while ago, since we've had the "little democracy poll" So let's have another one :-) No means, that the state does not kill any people; instead convicteds usually spend their lifes (or at least 15 years) in prison, as seen in europe. Yes means, that "real crimers", such as murders may receive the death penalty, as seen in the US. Yes (2) means, that not only crimers, even political dissidents that critizes of offend the government in other ways could pay with their lifes for these actions. We know this practices f.e. from China. |

| Latao uses death penalty for hard crimers, but in no event for political reasons. |

| Aids to Emperor Brakiss and Lord Kahal are often executed when they can not achieve simple tasks or make clumsy mistakes. |

If Druida's leader did that, we'd be in trouble... |

| Yes, including political dissidents. Those that threaten the rule of Imperator Tyrannvs, who has brought nothing but a new Pax Romana to this nation deserve nothing short of death! :Consvl Gaivs Marivs ;Nova Roma |

| Abattoir gives the death penalty to political dissendents. Their contributions to society cannot be beneficial to the reign of Antoine Tariskany, and must therefore be condemned. It is imperative that citizens of Abattoir remain in essence dormant. It is the only way to ensure the safety and goodwill of the nations citizens and the future of the country. |

| High crimes warrant execution, those who cannot be rehabilitated are sentenced to immediate death whilst those who are potential candidates for rehabilitation in old age are sent to an island off the coast (about the size of Tasmania) where they out their lives until reaching about fifty in near anarchic conditions. There’s no law in the Designated Zone of the island, the whole area is sectioned off by some simple yet effective methods. Political crimes include destabilising actions yet in reality very few attempt such actions as the standards of liberty are fairly high and the standards of living are fairly high as well, the only real downside is a powerful military-industrial complex and a government that after forty years still feels the whole world might jump in and take it all away. |

| Fmjphoenix utilizes the death penelty only in extreme crimes which have resulted in one death or more. We take people killing other very seriously. Never kill someone in Fmjphoenix or else it will be your ending. |

I wonder how your re-socialisation process works - can you bring crimers back into the nice society this way ? |
| Posted by: Falcania Apr 18 2005, 03:07 PM |
| Well, we don't have the death penalty as such, however we do turn a blind eye to any inmates in our prisons that get beaten to death for their crimes. A fate worse than the death penalty... |

| The death penalty is indeed in existence in Bedistan for convicted murderers. You kill somebody, you don't get the chance to repeat it. However, there is no justification for the execution of political dissidents. As far as we're concerned, if it's not a crime, we can't punish you. Even treason cannot be punished with death, though it can earn one a life sentence. |

| Lamoni retains the death penalty for convicted murderers (normally done by 9mm pistol). Though, treason will get you a life sentence. |

| No, the Conclave is against the death penalty. However, our other form of punishment for severe crimes leaves the being in question with an effectively destroyed neural assembly. |

| You might not get executed for heinous political crimes in Starblaydia, but you may have to report for 're-education' by the Ministry of Communications. |

So far I've never really done any sort of roleplay regarding the Designated Zone, I've got a load of stuff written up including operations by SO19 inside the area but never done anything about those who might actually reach fifty and thus become a candidate for release. Assuming you managed to survive inside the DZ; so facing off gangs, corporate employment teams -slave labour-, hunger, SO19 operations, pollution and basically anything else that might limit ones lifespan then all you need do upon reaching fifty is to report yourself to the nearest control tower and identify yourself to them by means of four-figure barcode. There have been incidents of people trying to destroy such towers by feigning a report of fifty, so the tower staff are kinda edgy at times. Some of the most dangerous people in the countries history are still living inside the DZ, one man in particular can still cause shudders to those who know about him. At present he leads the largest faction inside the DZ, even the corporate employment teams think twice before trying to recruit one of his people. |

Does this include the failed invasion of Lamoni and the subsequent glassing of Novvs Atlantis? |
| Posted by: Nova Roma Apr 23 2005, 08:39 PM |
| I'll have you reminded that it was the glassing of Nova Roma that resulted in the failed invasion. A devestating blow to morale and the loss of billions of citizens, there was certainly no way to further carry on the war. :Consvl Gaivs Marivs ;Nova Roma |

Yes, but the free popcorn is just overkill. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Apr 25 2005, 11:21 AM | ||
With so many nuclear explosions you don't need a microwave to cook all those popcorn packets. |
| Posted by: Lamoni Apr 25 2005, 05:13 PM |
| Let's just hope that the popcorn itself isn't radioactive! L.O.L! |
| Posted by: Salmantic Apr 25 2005, 07:26 PM |
| salmantic is all about the death penalty for those who are found to be deserving of it by the justice system. although it protects citeznes from rampant use of it for political control |
| Posted by: Carrar Aug 2 2006, 10:20 AM |
| The death penelty is used only in the most severe cases in Carrar. |
| Posted by: Septentrionia Aug 2 2006, 09:18 PM |
| The Death Penalty is illegal in Oliverry. Anyone who commits murder and is proved guilty is imprisonned for life. The fact behind this is the fact that justice is not infallible and human beings as well. Treason must be treated by a Court Martial. |
| Posted by: Quirrith Aug 2 2006, 11:47 PM |
| Murderers are tried and are killed by hanging in Myroria and Her Colonies, but we never kill anyone who is against the government unless an assassination attempt or a murder is committed by them. |
| Posted by: Az-cz Aug 3 2006, 10:05 PM |
| We in Az-cz object to the death penalty. We don't believe that anyone is such a heinous individual that they deserve to forfit their live. We also don't believe in retribution. Thankfully crime is very low in Az-cz and we have very little need for such things. |
| Posted by: Milchama Aug 4 2006, 10:57 PM |
| Since Milchama only has a broad based centralized government the death penalty and its usage vary from Kibbutz to Kibbutz. One thing that is universal though is that the Death Penaltys is used on traitors of the state. This however can only happen is extreme circumstances. Not sure where to check the poll though because they are political dissidents and because it varies so much. |

| In the Imperial Autocracy serious crimes such as murder, treason and terrorism are punishable by death. The exact method of execution for those found guilty of these crimes is decided by the judge at their trials. Death by firing squad is the most common means of execution. For particularly heinous crimes (such as criticising the regime) convicts are sent to “the Tank”. The Tank is a special chamber underneath the Imperial Citadel in which the sentenced person is strapped to a chair before the chamber fills, quite slowly, with water. This practise dates back hundreds of years to a time when those found guilty of plotting against the king would be taking on a boat, weighted down and cast into the sea. It’s a cruel punishment but that's the point. And it should be noted that Hypocria’s crime rates are exceptionally low. |
| Posted by: Khazaron Aug 5 2006, 11:42 AM |
| In the Dominion of Khazaron, the three offenses that warrent the death penalty are murder, treason, and rape. There are no statue of limitations on said crimes, and if found guilty of them, the person is executed immediately. However, due to such swift carrying out of justice, the trials tend to last a bit longer than in other nations, to make darn sure that the wrong person isn't executed. There may be certain rar circumstances that allow for the person to be excused from the death penalty for the first two crimes, such as the life of one's family being threatened or something else, in which case the sentance has a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. As would be expected, rape is never excused. |

| As Myroria and Her Colonies are all situated in The Age of Enlightenment, dueling between gentlemen if set beforehand is allowed, though, while the UN insists otherwise, a record of duels taking place on each day must be kept, signed by both the parties. |
