Two days ago Amnesty International published their annual report of executions. French mapping site I-spirit has created a Google Map of the number of executions carried out by different countries.
In 2008 more than 2,300 people were executed by their own governments. China is responsible for 1,718 of those executions. The USA is a long way behind, but with 37 executions is by far and away the leading executor in the western world.
