It had been used throughout the years usually in extreme crimes and during upscale wars. While legal for many years, the Department of Justice had recommended it be phased out in favor of other methods in the early 2010s. Progress towards abolition had stalled in the early years of the 2020s, however, failing to make it completely to the Senate floor due to lack of interest. In 2025, however, the Supreme Court partially struck down the use of capital punishment in Cartadania as "Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority." and consequently ordered Congress and all states to comply. Consequently, as of 12:01AM local time on 1 January 2026, most usage of the death penalty has ceased, and people who were on track to be executed (a minute amount) have been returned to their normal holding. This provision, however, does not apply to what is referred to as "Class 0" felonies (e.g., genocide, use of deadly weapon in a public place like a school, or severe foreign acts of war), so the status is called into question. Despite this, due to the time since the most recent execution and the strike down occurring after, the country is considered to be an abolitionist. | ||

| | |Faneria practices capital punishment as an accepted punishment for multiple-murders, and in select cases applies for systematic crimes such as repeated, violent sexual predation, single murders of younger minors, or other violent crimes of notable extremity. Nonviolent crimes or crimes committed as a minor are never eligible for capital punishment, and death penalties may not be assigned without reaching the highest threshold of evidence recognized in criminal law (Actual Fact, as opposed to Assumed Fact, which is equivalent to 'beyond a reasonable doubt' in other countries, and requires overwhelming physical, video, or other evidence). A minimum wait period of six years before an execution may be carried out. In the last decade, Faneria executed between seven and thirty-three people a year. | ||

|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. | |Capital punishment is lawful in the federal court system, most state and territorial courts, and the military justice system.
