'''Capital punishment''' is a legal penalty '''in Creeperopolis''', currently used all [[Departments of Creeperopolis|29 departments]], the [[Second State of the Church|Papal State]], [[El Salvador]], and the [[Creeperian Armed Forces|military]]. Its existence can be traced to the [[Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis]] (537-745). [[Creeperopolis]] is the only nation on the [[Southern Landmass]] that applies the death penalty regularly. <!--Creeperopolis is one of XX countries worldwide applying it.--> A total of 3,265 were executed in 2019.

Death sentences in Creeperopolis are pronounced almost exclusively based on the system of judicial sentencing discretion, the [[Creeperian Catholic Bible]], or the [[Constitution of Creeperopolis|Creeperian Constitution]]. The rise in death sentences during recent decades resulted from a concerted reaction by the government and the courts to a rise in violent crime during the [[Third Senvarian Insurgency]], [[Mara War]], [[Castillianan Insurgency]], and [[Deltinian Insurgency]].

'''Capital punishment''' ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] [[Creeperian script|Creeperian]]: ''պենալ ծապիտալ''; Creeperian – [[Iberic script|Iberic]]: ''penal capital''; <small>Creeperian pronunciation:</small> {{color|#122080|[peˈnal ka.piˈtal]}}; <small>literally:</small> ''capital penalty'') is a legal penalty in [[Creeperopolis]] which is currently constituted and applied in all [[Departments of Creeperopolis|thirty departments]] of Creeperopolis, as well as by the [[Creeperian Armed Forces]] (FAC), and even in some cases by the [[Creeperian Imperial Police]] (PIC). Creeperopolis has been noted as the most frequent utilizer of [[Capital punishment by country|capital punishment in the world]]. It is one of the thirteen nations which have capital punishment as a legal penalty and is one of six which have carried out at least one execution since 2020.

The history of capital punishment in Creeperopolis can be traced to the [[Kingdom of Xichútepa]] (1650BC–1578BC), in the form that individuals accused of offending or blaspheming the gods were sacrificed. The first definitive case of a formal execution for a "crime" of any sort can be traced to be the [[Creeperian Confederation]] (220BC–537AD) where individuals who murdered another were publicly beheaded or sometimes sacrificed. In modern Creeperopolis, capital punishment has existed since the establishment of the monarchy in 1231 and has only been abolished in two periods, between 1729 and 1771 and again between 1888 and 1893.

Every year since 1893{{NoteTag|name="execution numbers"|Excluding 1933–1957.}} has had an official and reliable figure about how many executions were carried out by the Creeperian government, however, the figure fails to include many wartime executions which have occurred as a part of the [[Creeperian Conflicts]]. In 2020, the Creeperian government official executed 10,974 people, the highest figure on any nation and the highest figure since the Creeperian government executed 12,982 people in 2003.

Various methods of execution have been used throughout Creeperian history, such as hanging, beheading, shooting, crucifixion, keelhauling, via the garrote, stoning, among many more methods. Various crimes are also punishable by capital punishment, such as abortion, terrorism, espionage, heresy, regicide, drug trafficking, waging war on God, practicing atheism, among many other crimes. Capital punishment is constitutionally protected, as are various capital crimes, which are labelled as "constitutional crimes."

=== Other Capital Crimes ===
+
{{div col|colwidth=16em}}
 +
* Beheading
 +
* Crucifixion
 +
* Drawing and Quartering
 +
* Falling from Helicopter
 +
* Firing Squad
 +
* Garrote
 +
* Gas Inhalation
 +
* Hanging
 +
* Stoning
 +
* Sawing
 +
{{div col end}}
  
Creeperian law theoretically allows the death penalty for many crimes:
+
Of the methods of capital punishment still in use, firing squad and hanging are the most common. Methods such as stoning and sawing are very rare, but are commonly used in vigilante executions. Crucifixion is also rarely used and is mostly used in "ceremonial" executions, such as executions of individuals of high importance or prominence.

Another method is ''de facto'' still used by the Creeperian government: burning. Although TCN Resolution 010 banned the use of fire in executions, the Creeperian government has continued to burn people as a form of execution. Burning was ''de jure'' removed as a method of execution, however, it is still used, especially in southern Creeperopolis.

From 2000 to 2020, Creeperopolis has seen two distinct bumps in execution count.
+
== Execution attendance ==
  
The first bump in execution count came from 2003-2004. In 2003, the [[Creeperian Armed Forces]] [[2003 Creeperian coup d'état|toppled the]] [[Alfonso VI of Creeperopolis|government of Alfonso VI]]. Following the coup, the new government under [[Alexander II of Creeperopolis|Alexander II]] and under direct orders of [[Minister of Defense of Creeperopolis|Minister of Defense]] [[Augusto Cabañeras Gutiérrez]] [[2003-2004 Creeperian Purges|arrested, tortured, and executed thousands of supporters]] of the [[October 16 Regime|old regime]]. The [[National Intelligence Directorate]] (DINA) carried out most of the executions with the police force carrying out the remainder.
+
== Clemency and commutations ==
  
In 2019, executions skyrocketed following the [[2019 San Salvador Attacks]] and the [[Martial Law in Creeperopolis (2019)|imposition of martial law]]. Its effects continued into 2020 with an above average count of executions occuring. Executions skyrocketed again following the [[2020 Creeperian coup d'état attempt]].
+
== Number of executions per year ==
  
The narrow majority of executions were related to terrorism or war. Only around 20% of the executions were related to terrorism with the remaining 80% being executed prisoners of war from the [[Creeperian Conflicts]].

On February 13, 2020, Alexander II sentenced 7,109 prisoners from the 2020 Creeperian Putsch to death.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37624315|title=Gaceta Creeperiano - Verdicts Handed Down by Emperor Alexander II|date=February 13, 2020}}</ref> The 7,109 prisoners from the putsch were dragged from their cells a day early and executed on February 13, 2020, instead. As mandated, low ranking soldiers and officers were executed by a firing squad. The executions are expected to be complete by 6:30pm SST Meanwhile, all high ranking soldiers and officers were hanged.

A drawing of the execution of four individuals, each using the garrote method, charged with treason and sedition during the Second Senvarian Insurgency. (Unknown author, 1883)

Capital punishment (CreeperianCreeperian: պենալ ծապիտալ; Creeperian – Iberic: penal capital; Creeperian pronunciation: [peˈnal ka.piˈtal]; literally: capital penalty) is a legal penalty in Creeperopolis which is currently constituted and applied in all thirty departments of Creeperopolis, as well as by the Creeperian Armed Forces (FAC), and even in some cases by the Creeperian Imperial Police (PIC). Creeperopolis has been noted as the most frequent utilizer of capital punishment in the world. It is one of the thirteen nations which have capital punishment as a legal penalty and is one of six which have carried out at least one execution since 2020.

The history of capital punishment in Creeperopolis can be traced to the Kingdom of Xichútepa (1650BC–1578BC), in the form that individuals accused of offending or blaspheming the gods were sacrificed. The first definitive case of a formal execution for a "crime" of any sort can be traced to be the Creeperian Confederation (220BC–537AD) where individuals who murdered another were publicly beheaded or sometimes sacrificed. In modern Creeperopolis, capital punishment has existed since the establishment of the monarchy in 1231 and has only been abolished in two periods, between 1729 and 1771 and again between 1888 and 1893.

Every year since 1893[note 1] has had an official and reliable figure about how many executions were carried out by the Creeperian government, however, the figure fails to include many wartime executions which have occurred as a part of the Creeperian Conflicts. In 2020, the Creeperian government official executed 10,974 people, the highest figure on any nation and the highest figure since the Creeperian government executed 12,982 people in 2003.

Various methods of execution have been used throughout Creeperian history, such as hanging, beheading, shooting, crucifixion, keelhauling, via the garrote, stoning, among many more methods. Various crimes are also punishable by capital punishment, such as abortion, terrorism, espionage, heresy, regicide, drug trafficking, waging war on God, practicing atheism, among many other crimes. Capital punishment is constitutionally protected, as are various capital crimes, which are labelled as "constitutional crimes."

Methods of execution

Currently in use

Ten methods of execution are still in use in Creeperopolis:

  • Beheading
  • Crucifixion
  • Drawing and Quartering
  • Falling from Helicopter
  • Firing Squad
  • Garrote
  • Gas Inhalation
  • Hanging
  • Stoning
  • Sawing

Of the methods of capital punishment still in use, firing squad and hanging are the most common. Methods such as stoning and sawing are very rare, but are commonly used in vigilante executions. Crucifixion is also rarely used and is mostly used in "ceremonial" executions, such as executions of individuals of high importance or prominence.

Another method is de facto still used by the Creeperian government: burning. Although TCN Resolution 010 banned the use of fire in executions, the Creeperian government has continued to burn people as a form of execution. Burning was de jure removed as a method of execution, however, it is still used, especially in southern Creeperopolis.
