Penal codes of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Nordic states and their neighbours, from the French codes of 1791 and 1810 to current criminal codes and the German code of international crimes. A code belongs here when its cited article describes a penal or criminal code of a continental European state. It excludes the post-Soviet codes and codes of other continents. The group runs from the first French revolutionary code to the present-day codes, so older and replaced codes are admitted along with codes now in force.
