'''Perpetual exile''' was a form of ritualistic public degradation, corporal punishment, and banishment practiced extensively by [[Libertas Omnium Maximus|Republican]] forces during the [[Iustitian Civil War]].

== History of the practice ==
High ranking members of the [[Republic of Iustitia|provisional government]] who were captured during the [[Iustitian Civil War|war]] were often subjected to show trials, where they would be charged with betraying, among other things, the trust of the people of [[Iustitia Island|Iustitia]] and their oath of office. When found guilty (and there were few exonerations), defendants would be sentenced to "perpetual exile." In carrying out this punishment, they would be dragged from the ''Gerjochtsgebou'' (now the Old Republic Courthouse in Iustitia City, where most show trials occured) to Iustitia harbor, where they would be beaten mercilessly and loaded onto the first ship leaving the nation. Perpetually exiled persons were stripped of citizenship and banished from ever setting foot in the [[Libertas Omnium Maximus|Republic]] again, as were all of there descendants, at least, in theory. Property belonging to those charged with perpetual exile was generally sized by the nascent republican government. After Provisional forces were all but routed towards the end of the war, the practice was discontinued. In total, around one hundred and fifty individuals were perpetually exiled, including the former leader of the [[Iustitian Republic]], Solomon Clarke, who was tried ''in absentia'', but was killed before his sentence could be carried out.
