Executions were introduced in December 1991, 3 months after gaining independence. The Minister of Affairs said that it was a hard decision to choose a method of execution.

Then in February 1992, the Maxpennylandic government issued an election for what method penguins want the most. Then the election failed due to disagreements between the politicians

After the elections, the Maxpennylandic Scientist Remspengsk thought that hanging is a humane method as it breaks the prisoner's neck.

Firing Squad was also suggested by Rempengsk. When he said " When prisoners die by the gun, it can be painful and a waste of ammunition. What about if they don't die if we use this method?"

Hanging is the official method for executions in Maxpennyland after 1994.
