List

	Country	Year implemented	Year of last execution	Year abolished	Notes
	Alstin	1559	1991	In effect	TBA
	Burgundie	Antiquity	2034	In effect	The death penalty in Burgundie has existed since antiquity. The death penalty is reserved for violent crimes known in Burgundie as "crimes of power" such as sexual crimes (especially rape and pedophilia), serial murder, systemic abuse (physical and emotional), and treason. Burgundie is unique among developed nations for also having a legal concept for vigilantism. Called Deuagant (Eng. taken from God), it is a non-sanctioned execution that is defensible in the community in which it occurs. This construct is not formally sanctioned by the Lazarine Court, but if there is not a subsequent outcry cases are not common against the community in which it occurred. While Deuagant is not a proven deterrent to sexual crimes, in particular, Burgundie does have a one of the lowest sexual crimes reporting rates in the Occidental world.
	Bussdaberria	1954	2039	In effect	Stipulated by the Treaty of Kartika, Bussdaberria is allowed under extraordinary circumstances to enforce the death penalty to "any-and-all henious crimes against life itself". This has conflicting interpertation, the death penalty was disused since 1961 until 1997; with the takeover of the Regency Council, most offenses depending on severity of murders over the years expanding further and further categories. It started to include rapes, drug trafficking etc. Bussdaberria currently has the highest amount of executions per year.
	Caphiria	Antiquity	2030	In effect	Capital punishment is lawful and has existed since antiquity though in modern times it has faced criticism. Today, it is reserved for the most heinous crimes: rape, murder, terrorism, treason and espionage.

	Cartadania	Antiquity	2020	In effect (Considered for abolition)	The death penalty in Cartadania was first used as a punishment for the corrupt during the overthrow of Cartadania's first government. It has been used throughout the years usually in extreme crimes and during upscale wars. While remaining legal, the Department of Justice has recommended it be phased out in favor of other methods. Progress towards abolition has stalled in recent years, however, failing to make it completely to the Senate floor due to lack of interest. Its use is still subject to strict review to prohibit unjustified execution.
	Eldmora-Regulus	Antiquity	2021	In effect	The death penalty is still in effect in Eldmora-Auregulus, it's primarily reserved for cases involving violent rape, serial murder, pedophilia, treason, terrorism and systemic abuse.

	Fiannria	Antiquity	1952	1955	While protest to the Death Penalty can be traced back to the early 20th century, it was not until after the Great War to legislative action took place nationwide to affirm every human being, even the worst among them, are indeed human and deserve the right to life.
	Kiravia	Antiquity	2034	In effect	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. Firing squad is the standard method of execution.
