Thus the South African Tire Necklace must be to you a perfectly acceptable means of execution for informers:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing

The IRA preferred shooting people in the head (Do to the nature of rebellions firing squads tend to be the preferred method of execution by rebels AND people suppressing rebels).

Iran prefers Hanging:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Iran#Methods

China Prefers the Firing Squad (through appears to be adopting Lethal Injection to replace the firing Squad).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China

Russia also prefers Firing Squads, but the Death Sentence is presently suspended and has been since Yeltsin adopted the ban in 1996. That ban has been upheld and followed ever since.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Russia

The ban on the Death Penalty is consisted with Russian Imperial History. While Peter the Great expanded the list of crimes subject to the Death Penalty, his Daughter Elizabeth II suppressed the Death Penalty. Later on Elizabeth II brought back the Death Penalty but her's and the Death Penalty of Catherine the Great (Catherine II) restricted the Death Penalty to revolts against the Emperor (Or Empress in the case of Elizabeth and Catherine). That remain the law till the 20th Century, when Murder was added, but after that addition to who could be executed, in most cases Murderers where sentence to hard labor in Siberia instead (I.e. Treason remain the crime you would be executed for NOT murder).

Under the Soviet Union, the Death Penalty was abolished, brought back and abolished again over and over again. Like the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union tended to reserve the death penalty for Treason and Rebellion (and any who opposed them). Thus a lot of people were killed under Stalin, but they were killed for Stalin seeing them as political enemies NOT for Murder or other crimes. Murderers tended to be sentenced to hard labor in Siberia. While Death Penalties were expanded after the Death of Stalin (and in 1960 the crimes subject to the Death Penalties were expanded again) actual execution seems to drop to less then 10 per year. No one has been executed in Russia since 1996.

Three Countries use beheading as their method of Captial Punishment:

Benin
Congo (Republic of the)
Saudi Arabia

Seven Countries use stoning as a crime, but please watch this list, it includes Iran, where Stoning has been abolished and they is strong evidence it just was NOT done by the State (may have been done by local populations):

Iran
Mauritania
Nigeria
Saudi Arabia
Sudan
United Arab Emirates
Yemen

http://www.deathpenaltyworldwide.org/country-filter.cfm?region=&method=Stoning&language=en

The same with the list of Countries that use the Firing Squad, the list includes the USA and Russia. In the Case of Russia no execution since 1996, but it retains firing squad on the books as the means of Execution. In the USA, Nevada was the last state that used the Firing Squad but Nevada has finally withdrawn it as a method of execution, Cuba is also listed and it has NOT executed anyone since 2003 and presently has no one sentence to death (i.e. de facto abolishment, but technically it is still on the law books). 54 Countries retain the Firing Squad as their preferred method of execution:

http://www.deathpenaltyworldwide.org/country-filter.cfm?region=&method=Shooting&language=en

Hanging is still the top method of execution world wide with 60 Countries opting for hanging when it comes to execution. The Firing Squad is a close #2 at 54 countries (All other methods when added together do NOT come close to either of these two methods):

60 Countries retain Hanging as their method of Execution (Through many of these countries have abolished the Death Penalty OR have NOT sentence anyone to death in years, and in many cases Decades).
