|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.

|The death penalty in [[Diamavya]] has existed since the establishment of the Magnicronz Empire, and remains in the constitution today. Although the death penalty is supposedly reserved for the worst of crimes, similar sentences leading to death such as colonial exile or reconditioning are used more frequently in its place.

|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.

||In 1974, a "right to life" amendment was passed by the Melliferan legislature, which would have prohibited abortions. However, four of the commonwealths refused to ratify it until it was modified to prohibit the death penalty. The Temporal Courts acquiesced and passed the modified amendment, which was ratified by all the states. A moratorium on executions by the federal government had already been in effect for two decades, after the Supreme Court had found it to be "imprudent."
