Fariva was the first Kiravian state to abolish {{wp|capital punishment}} for ordinary crimes, followed by [[Niyaska]]. The state retains the death penalty ''de jure'' as a possible sentence for piracy and mutiny within the state's territorial waters, and for {{wp|perfidy}} against or {{wp|desertion}} from the state defence forces during combat, but has abandoned capital punishment in practice and no longer has the facilities or protocols in place to carry out executions. | Fariva was the first Kiravian state to abolish {{wp|capital punishment}} for ordinary crimes, followed by [[Niyaska]].

The crime rate in Fariva is usually above the Federal average, and comparatively high rates of violent crime affect certain New Coscivian, Kópistonian, and Gaelic ethnic enclaves in the Béyasar metropolitan area. Organised crime has a major presence in the state, and is thought to have significant influence on municipal and state politics. The Institute for Accountable Government lists Fariva as the fifth most corrupt state in the Federacy, behind Kesta and the other leading industrial states of [[Etivéra]], [[ | The crime rate in Fariva is usually above the Federal average, and comparatively high rates of violent crime affect certain New Coscivian, Kópistonian, and Gaelic ethnic enclaves in the Béyasar metropolitan area.

Fariva has acquired a certain reputation in Kiravian political discourse for having many laws of an allegedly {{wp|paternalism|paternalistic}} and {{wp|nanny state|nanny-statal}} nature, including laws and local ordinances governing various aspects of personal behaviour, extensive {{wp|consumer protection}} policies, and an array of {{wp|Pigovian tax|Pigovian taxes}} and {{wp|sin tax|sin duties}}. A number of factors are thought to explain this legal régime, including the state's early industrialisation and its struggle to manage a large and diverse urban population, strong municipal governments, the pervasive influence of progressive and Instructionalist ideas during high modernity and Kirosocialism and an appetite for technocratic policymaking, the relatively stronger influence of Protestant moralism, and the general absence in Taństan Coscivian culture of the attitude of ''[[kētka]]'' ("slack"). Fariva introduced the Federacy's first {{wp|seatbelt law}} and has the lowest maximum speed limit (100 kmph) of any state. | Fariva has acquired a certain reputation in Kiravian political discourse for having many laws of an allegedly {{wp|paternalism|paternalistic}} and {{wp|nanny state|nanny-statal}} nature, including laws and local ordinances governing various aspects of personal behaviour, extensive {{wp|consumer protection}} policies, and an array of {{wp|Pigovian tax|Pigovian taxes}} and {{wp|sin tax|sin duties}}.
