|[[Fascist Caldera]] widely used capital punishment for many crimes, but since the [[2034 Austro-Caldera Prime Leader election]], the first election in Calderan history to include more than 1 party, advocacy for capital punishment dropped entirely, and President [[Charles LeMieux]] abolished the ability for judges to sentence criminals to capital punishment. Legally speaking, the President could still sentence someone to death, but this has never occurred.

| Evidence of capital punishment existing in Geisenroda goes back to the first written records to be known to exist in the territory. The current government of Geisenroda has officially abolished the death penalty for what are considered common crimes, however, retains it in cases where it believes the case has threatened national security, the government has often come under criticism for its practice of mass sentencing in cases where the death penalty is used. The most common method of execution in Geisenroda is via firing squad, often carried out on the same day as the sentencing.

|Capital punishment is lawful in the federal court system, most state and territorial courts, and the military justice system. Some states have abolished capital punishment - either entirely or for all ordinary crimes - while many more have discontinued capital punishment in practice, both with and without formal moratoria, but have not abolished it. Though most often handed down for (usually aggravated) murders and (in some states) aggravated rapes, it may also be used as a penalty for espionage, treason, piracy, perfidy and other military crimes, aircraft hijacking, and train derailment. A few jurisdictions, such as [[Kyllera]], allow capital punishment for arson and horse theft. {{wp|Firing squad}} is the standard method of execution.

|The death penalty in Thervala has existed since the Arunidisation of the country. The death penalty in its current state is used very liberally with violent offenders, rapists, murderers, animal abusers, and abusers of children, the elderly, and vulnerable adults. The practice is usually carried out by firing squad and is overseen by a Vattayan monk as it is considered to be a sacramental practice. Foreign nationals in Thervala are spared from the death penalty and will face life imprisonment for their crimes or will be deported to their home country to face trial based on their home country's laws.
