Candide's punishments, do they fit the crime?

Throughout the story and what I have read so far, Candide's punishments definitely do not fit the crime. The reason is simply that in order to suffer punishment, there has to be a crime that is equal to that given punishment. Although Candide is guilty of being naive, the punishments he has faced do not match to it. At the beginning, Candide was trying to get closer to Cunegund. In result, he was exiled from his home and from everything he knew. This then led to other unjustified punishments that only seem to get worse. The banishment led to Candide being found by Bulgarians that beat him and put him in the cruel situation of having no choice but to see the remains of a war. Even though I do not think that the punishment Candide received in result of the "crimes" he committed were fair, I do believe that that is Voltaire's point. Upon reading this book, I know that Candide is a satire. By Voltaire having Candide to endure and receiving too harsh punishments for actions that do not seem to be crimes at all is a part of the satire. What is Voltaire making fun of exactly? I think he is making fun of those in power that do not analyze the wrong doings of their subjects properly, yet they still react and follow through with actions that change or even destroy the lives of people that are directly affected by those actions. By being "right" in all things, (for most rulers) their decisions go unquestioned. But although that with Candide it is obvious, for a much more difficult situation to judge, what really is a fit punishment?
