Criminal law in Sanama (Third Republic) is mainly a national concern, with certain exceptions. After the federal system was abolished in 1687, the national government is responsible for criminal law for most of Sanama. Cisamarra and Thanatos however make their own criminal laws in devolved matters, excluding such areas as the national government is responsible for, such as counterfeiting, treason and terrorism. Highpass as a former federal territory comes under the same criminal law as Sanama proper, with the caveat that Highpass may at any time make its own criminal law in devolved matters.

Criminal code

Sanama proper

Criminal law in Sanama proper is enacted in the Criminal Code Act of 1688, consolidating all legislation with criminal penalties into a single act. Parts of it apply to all of Sanama, concerning matters where the national government is responsible for legislation, while the other parts only apply to Sanama proper and, as of 1689, Highpass. All crimes are classified into a class and a grade. The three classes are felonies, misdemeanours and infractions. The grade is indicated with a letter from A to F.

Class Grade Standard sentencing range
Felony A 30 – 40 years, life, natural life
B 20 – 40 years, life
C 10 – 30 years
D 5 – 20 years
