This game compares the year a country completely abolished capital punishment.

• The source chronology only includes countries that have fully abolished the death penalty, so retentionist states are intentionally outside this pool.
• When a country abolished, reinstated, and later abolished again, the chronology uses the later abolition year.
• That makes this a game about final abolition, not the first moment a death penalty law was ever suspended or narrowed.
• In each round, pick the country with the later abolition year, or SAME when the year matches.

Abolition dates look tidy only after decades of reversals, carve-outs, military codes, and political bargaining are flattened into one year.
