Nuclear Weapon Non-Proliferation Treaty (NWNPT)

In light of the growing amount of nuclear devices being thrown about, we pledge to make our planet a safer place for all by not manufacturing or using these weapons.

We offer an open invitation for nations to sign this treaty with us.

"We hereby promise not to acquire or produce nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices. Should we have this technology, we promise not to transfer nuclear weapons, other nuclear explosive devices, or their technology to any non-nuclear-weapon nation."

Nuclear Weapon: "A device, such as a bomb or warhead, whose great explosive power derives from the release of nuclear energy."

:arrow: Notes on signing:

1. If you have nuclear weapons and want to sign this treaty, you must commit to openly dismantle your nuclear weapons. (revised)
2. Signing this treaty does not mean you can't use your nuclear technology for power generation/medical research and any other non-weapon developments/research.
3. You may pass on your non-weapon technology to other nations (if you want to assist them develop power plants etc).
4. Nations concerned about their safety can be offered protection by our NAFDA Installations.
5. It is the responsiblity of signatories to monitor each other's nuclear activities and report where necessary.
:arrow: 6. Should you require assistance to safely dismantle and dispose of your nuclear weapons, The Evil Overlord has a team available to carry out this function. You may also purchase the process from them.(added)

I will sign this treaty, but I must also point out that there are more dangerous weapons available to intelligent nations, such as anti-matter detonative devices or orbital bombardment platforms... As agreed, however, we will not use nuclear materials for any means other than energy, research, and medicinal purposes.

I never needed nukes. It's amazing what you can accomplish with diseases...

Willing to back that up and sign? :wink:

No arguments there! This treaty is a start. Nuclear weapons leave behind a legacy of pain and suffering for many years.

I will be willing, when I obtain such weapons, to limit my arsenal to 20 nuclear warheads. It must be noted however that nuclear power is not to be covered.

Saying that you sign is good enough. :)

Bioweapons are far more elegant and covert. We do not manufacture any types of WMD.

Not good enough I'm afraid, you cannot have any nuclear weapons in your possession.

SeOCC has no nuclear weapons and gladly adds our name to the list of signatories.

What about nuke powere subs and carriers? And even if i did sign, I'm still gonna have nukes, jsut like every RL country that has signed Non-proliferations treaties.

This is your opportunity to NOT be like corrupt RL countries and practice some integrity, RL countries do not make very good examples.

Nuclear powered subs and carriers are fine.

No deal, the vault contents must go 8) If you can rid yourself of 30 nukes, surely it's not too much to ask to dump the other 20, besides, you have something way more powerful.

But I thought the whole point was to make this like RL...oh well, have fun with your treaty and all, I like my nukes jsut they way they are...although soon I wont have a need for them, I'll have somethign far more powerfull.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Also, why are two of my allies (Adjeeni and New Genoa) on the list of urge to sign?

ooc: oh my god... i'm going to pretend i didn't hear that 20 nukes are just floating around over my head where anyone can shoot them down...

ooc: By now after everyone's threads, and all about space stations (the threads not future tech) as well as other things we should probably roleplay that there are so many things floating around above the "Nationstates Planet" that you can barely see the stars.

If you want nukes it's your business, we're not here to dictate to nations.
NS can certainly be like RL (in many ways is), but with variations and opportunities to do things different. We don't want to be duped like the RL treaty signatories however.

Also, why are two of my allies (Adjeeni and New Genoa) on the list of urge to sign?
You'll have to take that up with them, look at the old thread and you'll see that they were willing to be nuclear-weapon free.

Now, you aren't going to go crazy on me and make an 'Anti-Bioweapons' thread are you?

Celdonia has already signed a pledge to end testing and building of nuclear weapons but, for the moment, retains its existing nuclear arsenal. However, there is a growing movement in favour of complete nuclear disarmament and latest indications show that it is likely that a change in policy may be announced soon. Until then it would be impossible for Celdonia to sign the treaty.

(OOC: Though we might if enough of our allies think we should. I'm still thinking about it :wink: )

However, we do note with concern the proliferation of nuclear devices currently in orbit around the planet. We feel that the placement of such devices is both foolish and extemely dangerous. We therefore ask whether nations think a resolution before the UN banning such practices would be worthwhile and likely to gain support.

(OOC: It's banned in RL, and I think it would be a good idea here. Orbiting nukes are a really stupid idea and huge threat to everyones security.)

Now, you aren't going to go crazy on me and make an 'Anti-Bioweapons' thread are you?
:) Nope.
You aren't responsible for SARS are you? :wink:

I will admit nothing.

We look forward to Celdonia signing the treaty in the near future, and hope you can come to a decision.

I'd love to sign. All I'm asking if a weapon based on the total annihilation theory is a nuclear weapon.

define "Nuclear weapons"

define "Nuclear weapons"
A weapon of mass destruction whose explosive power derives from a nuclear reaction.

A nuclear weapon is a weapon of enormous destructive potential, deriving its energy from nuclear reactions.

I'd love to sign. All I'm asking if a weapon based on the total annihilation theory is a nuclear weapon.
If the explosive power is not from a nuclear reaction, then it's not in the nuclear weapon category.

I'll definitely sign this. I'm nuke-free and proud of it!

Western Asia will proudly sign. Although WA was very much Nuke Free for the majority of its existence, we shortly obtained a number of AMF's HOUND systems. Those systems, however, were returned to AMF after the destruction of Sniper Country in a "carpet nuking" strike by the nation of Nankin. Although the HOUNDs were a "last option" we have decided that it would be a poor "last option" to take. We are now, once again, nuke-free.

We welcome New Genoa & Western Asia as signatories and invite others to join us.

As an existing member of two other non-proliferation treaties, we, The Free Republic of the Arctic Archipelago, are more than pleased to sign. We currently posess no nuclear weapons, though nuclear power generates almost all of our nation's electricity. If you have any reservations about our use of nuclear power, we will gladly and fully accept any inspection of our nuclear industry without limitation.

The Commonwealth of Ellesmere Island, sister nation of The Arctic Archipelago, signs under the same terms. We are also against the use of nuclear power as a weapon of destruction and intimidation, and we posess a thoroughly-developed nuclear program as well. Any inspections will be accepted unconditionally.

We thank Mega Tau for this great effort and are glad to expand our cooperation with that great nation.Yes, that's a bump.

The Commonwealth of Clangerland would like to be a part of this treaty.
We have never possesed nuclear weaponry and will never look into nuclear power.

Queen Firefury Amahira would gladly sign this treaty with the seal of the Shogunate. Since the fall of the Nekoite Empire and the rise of the Shogunate, all pre-existing nuclear weapons have been disposed of.

The dark masters would like to sign your treaty and will provided you allow the sucide prgram to continue. In the even that a Padmasan city is captured several nuclear bombs stratgeticly placed destroy the entire city and anything within 20 miles of it. These (bombs) cannot be moved or used as weapons per say. It is a purely defensive feature, no offensive capabilityies unless we want to kill of a whole cityto take out some men outside of it... Is that system still allowed? A similar effect could be obtained several ways but this is the most effective, cleanest, and fail safe method. :twisted:

Sorry for posting something that should really be in the UN thread, but It's relevant to this topic.

The thread in the UN forum is http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56047&highlight=

IC:

Celdonia has submitted the following resolution to the UN, and urges all delegates to give it their support.


Orbital Weapons Ban
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Celdonia

Description: Whereas this body recognises the inherent dangers of placing nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons in orbit around the planet, it calls upon all member nations to pledge not to place in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, and to decommission such existing weapons immediately.

It is recognised that whilst few States indulge in such dangerous practices the associated risks are born by all members of the global community.

Approvals: 1 (Celdonia)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 130 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Wed Jul 30 2003

We thank the recent nations above for signing the treaty, a wise decision indeed.
Anyone else wishing to be nuclear weapon free are welcome to sign.

All you getting rid of your nukes, give them to me, I'l take them of you for free, and you wont have to pay to destroy them, because I'l do it in my Nuclear Destruction vat, which safely destroys nukes.

Anyone have any comments about this?
To be a signatory, you should have no nuclear weapons in your possession.

Can you prove you'll destroy those weapons Pablicosta?

True, but as I have stated they are not weapons in the tradional sense of the word. I have also mentioned that this is by far the safest way... I mean forceing a nuclear reactor to go critical is dangerous and keeping enough high explosives to do the job right, is at best, a risky proposition. Besides really, how would we get to them? If we were to remove them well we never thought to add a way to remove them. Leaving the only way to be rid of the devices is to set them off...

Hmmmm, the treaty is not worth the trouble. We will just not bother to use nuclear weapons, I am sure we are capable of holding ourselves back from the temptation to have them by force of will... I bid ye good eve.

w00t i got nukes now :D

Consider it signed :D

Also, send a telegram to the nations Olath Valsharess and Blyclaaf about it.

(IC)Before signing any such document we wish to know if tactical nuclear weapons count, as we don't have any mounted on ICBMs as it is. In fact, the only nuclear weapons currently in use in Dyelli Beybi are Starfish ASW missiles.

The treaty is considered to be very important, and it will be signed

Tactical nuclear weapons do count.

(OOC: pardon my rudeness for not responding earlier :? )

During the intervening time we're aquired some ICBMs as well. We will sign this treaty, once SATO agrees to disarm also.

Sounds good, we look forward to signing with you in the future, should your nuclear disarmament become a reality.

I suggest we stockpile nuclear weapons as a combined nuclear deterant while destroying the vast majority. This would solve the issues faced by Dyelli Beybi in that we would lack any weapons to fire back at the enemy should they chose to attack us.

The treaty is always open for further signatories should you wish to join us Dyelli Beybi, other nations included.

Funny, I'm 842nd in the world for mining, but I have no nukes. :P

Maybe you aren't mining uranium?

You'll have to take that up with them, look at the old thread and you'll see that they were willing to be nuclear-weapon free.

"The Republic of Adejaani will sign the Nuclear Weapon Non Proliferation Treaty, noting the following:

1: The Republic of Adejaani has never owned or sought to acquire nuclear technology for the purpose of using it in a malicious manner (ie nuclear weapons)

2: The Republic of Adejaani will be retaining fissile nuclear power for use as a method of propulsion within the Adejaani Republic Navy

3: The Republic of Adejaani will be retaining small amounts of nuclear materials for medical research

4: The Republic of Adejaani will be retaining the technology for 'cracking' Uranium, a byproduct of which is Helium for use as a fuel source by the Adejaani Republic Space Corps.

Without further ado....." She steps away from the podium and a cameraman moves in closer to record the event. With that, she grabs a fountain pen and signs the treaty.

Thanks to LordSquall, Anhierarch and Adejaani for signing with us. All signatory nations will hold each other accountable for their dismantling of their nuclear arsenal.

I think we should set up a Treaty Council to monitor member nations of their nuclear-weapon activities, any ideas in setting this up would be welcome.

<OOC>Sorry to quibble in this fashion, but the treaty you are all signing is not a non-proliferation treaty. Non-proliferation does not mean divesting your nation of all nuclear weapons. It means that nuclear-weapon producing nations will make every attempt to prevent other nations from developing/purchasing/stealing such weapons.

In RL, this has led to the establishment of global monitoring of nuclear materials mining, supposedly strict controls on the transportation and sale of such materials, strict oversight of "precursor technology" (technical innovations that would allow a country to develop its own home-grown nuke program), and some of the few instances of cooperation between Western and Soviet intelligence programs (back when there was a Soviet Union).</OOC>

If this were a Non-Proliferation treaty, His Omniferocity's government would be happy to sign. However, since this is actually a Nuclear Disarmament treaty, the Dominion will not be a signatory, despite His Omniferocity's well-known distaste for such weapons.

However, in the interest of supporting your efforts, His Omniferocity has authorized the release of an Evil Overlord Enterprises Special Hazmat team to your treaty organization. This team will be equipped with four large destruction/decontamination units which can be transported by air to any nation desiring to destroy their nuclear weaponry. Special decontamination chambers will utilize modern lasers to reduce radioactive material hazards by several orders of magnitude.

Alternatively, His Omniferocity will sell these units to nations unwilling to allow foreigners access to their weapons.

In compensation we are stepping up production of chemical and biological weapons of massed destruction, as well as specialised weapons such as Worms, Subversion Entities, Lysergic gas and other panic-inducing weaponry, and methods of mind-influencing warfare, by 75%.

Nuclear Weapon Non-Proliferation Treaty (NWNPT)

In light of the growing amount of nuclear devices being thrown about, we pledge to make our planet a safer place for all by not manufacturing or using these weapons.

We offer an open invitation for nations to sign this treaty with us.

"We hereby promise not to acquire or produce nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices. Should we have this technology, we promise not to transfer nuclear weapons, other nuclear explosive devices, or their technology to any non-nuclear-weapon nation."

Nuclear Weapon: "A device, such as a bomb or warhead, whose great explosive power derives from the release of nuclear energy."

:arrow: Notes on signing:

1. If you have nuclear weapons and want to sign this treaty, you must first openly dismantle your nuclear weapons.
2. Signing this treaty does not mean you can't use your nuclear technology for power generation/medical research and any other non-weapon developments/research.
3. You may pass on your non-weapon technology to other nations (if you want to assist them develop power plants etc).
4. Nations concerned about their safety can be offered protection by our NAFDA Installations.
5. It is the responsiblity of signatories to monitor each other's nuclear activities and report where necessary.

Being a long time supporter of anti-WMD acts, especially anti-Nuclear Weaopn Treaties we will gladly sign this treaty.

Well, I don't have any nukes and I don't want any, as I see it, it'll just make me a target for some other nation's nuke. And it'll just screw everything up...

We will be happy to sign the treaty...

I'll sign. After all, plasma based explosive weaponry is so much more cost effective and effiecient

I would have signed if I saw this earlier, but there is currently enough interest in neutron bombs in Nianacio that I don't think that would be a popular decision.

We thank you for your commitment, welcome.

We thank The Evil Overlord for their offer in assisting with the destruction of the weapons, and encourage nations to make use of the services of the Hazmat Team.

For the record- although the Dominion is not a signatory to your treaty- it is the policy of His Omniferocity that nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon precursor technology, and nuclear material capable of being enhanced to produce nuclear weapons has not and will not be sold, traded, or otherwise distributed by Evil Overlord Enterprises, the employees and citizen-shareholders thereof, or any other person or entity subject to the laws of the Dominion on pain of death. EOE and/or EOE personnel will not aid or participate in such trade by foreign persons or entities, also on pain of death.

Furthermore, discovery that foreign persons or entities are transporting the listed prohibited materials through Dominion-controlled territory will result in revocation of right-of-passage agreements with the offending nation, and will be grounds for severing standard diplomatic ties.

I would like to sign this treaty. Unfortunately, the economy of the Democratic Republic of Longism is highly dependent on all things nuclear. We are in fragile economic conditions as it is, and cannot afford to take away the economic advantages brought about by uranium mining. Our population of 10 million is not enough to generate much use for nuclear power or medicine to replace weaponry. Is there some way economic guarantees can be made so that we may disarm?

LRR will sign this treaty. LRR currently posesses no weaponry capable of mass destruction, and we never will. So, in cnclusion, we sign it. We will also help enforce it.

Nuclear Weapons are insignificant to the power of the Force, therefore, we will sign this treaty and henceforth never produce or acquire a single nuclear bomb. Star Destroyers are a different story, if we had the money to pay for them...

May we suggest for a start your government relaxes it's private enterprise restrictions a little to stimulate the economy. You need to diversify your economy as well, relying on weapons manufacturing alone spells disaster.
We would be willing to look into some kind of trade agreement with you, but this would require further investigation.

Welcome to the Treaty and thanks for your offer to help enforcing it. Should you wish to play a more active role, the position of Chairperson is available. The Chairperson's responsibility will be to monitor signatory's nuclear weapon activity, and also form a Treaty Council.

While we are not signitaries to the Treaty, we are more than willing to sell any Nations that are, systems to shoot down incoming ICBMs. This would give them the security otherwise taken away at the loss of MAD potential.

I think Mega-Tau has a good one which he gives you for joining… I wouldn't of joined for less.

Please add the free land of Psylos to the list of signatories.
We do not have nuclear weapons and do not plan to have any.

Welcome to the treaty, we're happy to be signing with you.

Perhaps the treaty would be more popular if you included grounds for partial signing, ie not destroying nuclear weapons but pledging to cease increasing of the existing arsennel?

My nation does not have nuclear capabilities, but we will be willing to sign to prevent a catastrophic nuclear war.

No nukes ??? are you crayz ? this resolution is crayz,the nuclear weapon has been a powerfull weapon and even more so for Kihameria since we have large and plentifull Uranium deposits.

In fact if you want Uranium i need some weapons,preferably Uzi's,AK-47's,and if posible small landing boats,telegram our HQ and we could set something up....

How has it been a powerful weapon? Perchance you are admitting to have used such weapons?

Tropical Montana would be happy to sign. We have no nuclear weapons, as our national policy is to have a national defense with NO international offence. Since our troops do not leave our borders, having nuclear weapons would be insanity--the only place we could use them is HERE.

Add our name to the treaty signatories, please.

We would have signed if only we'd be granted special dispensations for nuclear depth charges and torpedoes fitted with tactical nuclear devices.

*message transmitted to all membernations*

the Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss hereby reports the rogue nation of SeOCC in violation of the non-proliferation treaty that they are a signatory to. We have foiled an attempt of terrorists openly supported by the SeOCC regime to detonate a nuclear device inside Skargarden to hit SATO troops who are on a training mission there. This proves that

a) SeOCC posesses nuclear capabilities
b) SeOCC has attempted to use those capabilities
c) SeOCC is willing to use them in a first strike option, a policy we have always condemned.

We suggest that the treaty signatories take steps they deem approporate to the situation. Expulsion would only be a logical step, but our government would also like a declaration of solidarity in these dark times.

Yours,

Lousewies van der Laan
Prime Minister of Knootoss

See the fireside chat with lady Siri here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2045930)

I selected the relevant part for your reading ease:
*A video clip of a fishing trawler appears on the screen above the fireplace.*

"This is the plot which has forced our hand. Our intelligence has discovered that SeOCC, Celdonia, and the Volunteer Army have been engaged in a plot to insert and possibly detonate a nuclear device within Skargarden. The aim of this is to eradicate the SATO forces protecting the nation, after which the CACE would march upon Skargarden and install a more... malleable regime, one more conducive to their long-term agenda. We intercepted a transmission involving a plot to insert several teams of Volunteer Army operatives onto the coast of Skargarden using the fishing trawler depicted on the screen to my left. Using divers and Zodiac boats, they would transfer a large quantity of EDW - electronic disruption warfare - equipment into Skargarden. This includes the much-vaunted Q Consoles for which SeOCC is infamous, which would be used to interfere with and disrupt the wargames. In addition to this, they would transfer ashore a nuclear device, provided by Celdonia. This device would be planted within Skargarden, to be detonated against SATO forces at a time of SeOCC's choosing. Fortunately, even as I speak, this plot is being foiled, the terrorists apprehended, by elements of the Ruhrian and Knootian militaries, and the MIDF. The Volunteer Army teams have been intercepted, their trawler, computers, and nuclear warhead seized.

(OOC: Link at the bottom.)

"That they would take this step is both shocking and appalling. SATO has made no aggressive moves towards the border, there have been no indications of any plans to invade SeOCC - because there is no plan to invade SeOCC. Instead, they have conducted an act of open warfare against the Skargardeni, who have in their plight and the precariousness of their newfound freedom, turned to SATO and Menelmacar for protection. This cannot stand. This cannot be permitted to continue. SeOCC is a rogue state that has gotten out of control. Perhaps they thought they were defending themselves, though now they have provided the very casus belli - the invasion of a SATO ally using terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, with aims to overthrow that nation's government - that SATO would need to even hope to justify an invasion of Aperin. Whether we respond as such is yet to be decided. As such, I will be calling within the next few days an emergency session of the South Atlantic Treaty Organization, whereby I will open a debate and call a vote regarding whether SATO will go to war.

More Proof:
http://www.geocities.com/imperialsatellitenews/

I will state this once. SeOCC has not violated any portion of the NPT because SeOCC has never been in possession of nuclear weapons. Minister Ellman-Fogg stated this quite clearly in her address, which you can find in response to the frankly libelous accusations of the Menelmacari Hegemon.

SeOCC remains committed to our stand against weapons that indiscriminately kill, denies all accusations and points to the fact that the Ruhrian soliders onboard the trawler found no evidence of any wrong doing on SeOCC's part.

Does the Prime Minister of Knootoss withdraw the accusation, or would she like to call for an inspection?

*signs with Spaam, Tanah Burung and The Magic Land of Oz*
We welcome you all to the Treaty.

An investigation into Knootoss's allegations against SeOCC is underway, any assistance in this enquiry will be greatly appreciated.

We'll sign, however we wish to keep one of our two neutron bombs until attrition takes it. The other one will be disassembled.

Although Knootoss has not replied, i believe we can take the allegation against SeOCC as dropped, based on this from Menelmacar in the "operation sabre-rattling" thread:

OOC: All right, fair enough, no n00kz on the boat... I can run with that. Well played.

Okay, our reply:

OOC: *notes all the other evidence provided still stands and that SeOCC willingly ICly provoked nuclear conflict to smoke out a spy he already knew OOCly was there.* :roll:

The next day, the newspaper Trouw.

Knootoss pulls back from the brink!
Red button nearly pressed

KNOOTCAP – The world narrowly avoided an all-out nuclear conflict yesterday as Knootian government hastily aborted a full-scale retaliatory strike against SeOCC at the last moment. Intelligence information from reliable sources suggesting that a nuclear weapon was being smuggled into Skargarden by terrorists openly supported by the SeOCC government proved to be false. When the nuclear weapon was not found the government could only assume that the terrorists had succeeded in slipping through the coalition lines and had already placed the weapon. A statement by the rogue state’s officials came just in the nick of time, as both the Prime Minister and other key officials had already authorised for the use of weapons of mass destruction against the SeOCC. This nation has recently been classified as a ‘rogue nation’ for openly supporting terrorist organisations such as the Volunteer Army, plotting to destabilize world economies and cracking down on freedom by force.

A shocked government representative issued a strong condemnation of the SeOCC government for playing bluff poker with the lives of billions of people by deliberately planting false information regarding an imminent nuclear strike. The representative said: “I shudder to think what would have happened when their statement had come twenty-five minutes later. Aperin would have been a nuclear wasteland and the world would probably be engaging in an all out thermonuclear conflict right now.”

In answer to questions by journalists, the representative freely admitted that the boarding of the SeOCC ‘marine biology’ trawler by the Ruhrian Imperial Navy was, “a regrettable mistake in retrospective” but she immediately added that the response was “completely justified and legitimate given the extreme circumstances.” She called upon the Naval Waters act and cited this as a situation of ‘clear and present danger’. Later she explained: “With the knowledge we possessed back then we would have done the same thing again. We had every reason to believe that the lives of millions of Skargardians and hundreds of thousands of SATO forces were at stake. We would not want to be remembered as those who knew of the impending danger but did not act.”

However despite these words the huge intelligence blunder is having it’s fallout back home. The head of the General Intelligence and Security Agency (AIVD) voluntary stepped down two hours after the announcement was made. However it is highly likely that his resignation would have been forced anyway. Responses from political parties were generally shocked and enraged about the whole situation.

All parties have blamed the AIVD for failing and called for increased funding to the intelligence organisation which had been facing cutbacks in recent years. But where SLP, RCPK and KEP clearly lay blame on the SeOCC government for this crisis the green KGP called this evidence of the folly of war and possessing nuclear weapons.
Green leader Femke Halsema repeated her parties view that Knootoss should disarm its nukes and sign the non-proliferation treaty. More conservative members however have provided a different solution, suggesting that this near-incident is a sign that Knootoss should seek to strengthen relations within the SATO bulwark. In the short to medium term the incident further disturbs the already fragile liberal/green coalition.
[continues on page 2 and 3]

EDIT: extra OOC note. This would have been a retalliatory strike had the "nuke" gone off.

Once again we see an example of blatant SATO warmongering. May their festering Alliance be beaten with shoes.

Because i am at war I think i should sign this treaty, am i right?

The People of Artemisia Absentia wish us to sign this treaty. We have no need for such weapons for we are in an ever present state of serenity.

.:Bump:.


I'd like to think people are still interested in this one.

The PReG is interested in signing, however as signatories would we still be allowed to produce nuclear capable delivery systems (minus warhead ofcourse) ? as exporting such systems makes up a decent chunk of our export revenue.

The Friendly Republic of Dennisov is pleased to finally make it known that their signature will be found on this document.

As agreed, however, we will not use nuclear materials for any means other than energy, research, and medicinal purposes.
