How thick of rope do you need for a hanging? 1/2"? 3/4"?

If the USA does it, the rope will be 1"

But let's have the Iraqi's do it and the rope will be 2.5 cm.

Hell, some cons hang themselves with shoelaces.

3/4" -- 1" Then there is a table for drop length.

Heavy fishing line would work, or piano wire. The problem is, it's supposed to be a hanging and not a decapitation so I would go with 1" at a minimum.
