Could I please have WMDs in my arsenal?. I think im old enough to handle them.

Um, sorry, but NO! WMDs should only used by nations with a population of over 200 million as you don't have any realistic capacity to design, build or maintain them.

Your economy can't support it either.

For one thing, your have a "basket case" economy which is one of the worst ones in the game.

"Then how come so many poor nations in the world get WMDs?"

That's because they have a better economy than you do but waste it all by taxing everyone to death and putting it all into military. While your 66% tax rate is horrifying to us libertarian-sympathetic folk, it's probably not enough.

Also none of your money goes to the military. "...[D]efense recieve[s] no funds by comparison." So you can't make WMDs for your military if you don't have one to speak of.

Also all of your money goes to Social Welfare. You're a Welfare State. So are Canada and many Scandinavian countries.

But I'll help you out and say you have conscription, even if you don't. Many Scandinavian countries also have conscription. The effect on demographics this has is you have a quasi-militant society (at least) and everyone at some point has or will be part of the military.

Still, you ever see Norway release a plague of smallpox on their neighbors?

Part of that is because they don't have the 200million pop minimum. Come back later and try again.

Well, what if a weapon was donated to them. I am sure, in that case, they would be able to have one. I mean, it would take their entire army to ensure that it is maintained properly, but hey, it is their decision.

I changed my Nation type. I changed it to Iron Fisted Dictatorship am I allowed to have WMDs with this?.

again id say no, becuase you just starteed today!

You're economy is poor, so you dont have the money to buold and maintain or research WMD, you'd narkrupt yourself building and laucnhing one

only if you bought it form another nation could you have it, but then you;d need to maintain it, you can just chuck anthrax in the frezzer on your kenmore in a glass and expect it to be useable, and you cant just let a nuclear warhead just sit around, you got to maintain them, or they break and arent useful, thatd cost you too much, when you have more pop and a better economy, thats when you should worry about WMB, focus now on trying to procure regular weapons to arm your people with

Ana rmy with nukes is nothing unless its got men and women to launch them and defend it

Haha, we've got a case of North Korean syndrome here!

lol right on

Um, sorry, but NO! WMDs should only used by nations with a population of over 200 million as you don't have any realistic capacity to design, build or maintain them.

How come? In RL, the UK has a population of around 60 million, and still has nukes and a range of nasty things in development at Porton Down.

OK, LISTEN UP!

If you want to have Weapons Of Mass Destruction, you can either -

1) Wait 2 months, PROPERLY ROLEPLAY A DEAL WITH ANOTHER NATION TO OBTAIN WMDS for DEFENSE PURPOSES ONLY. After a month or so, THEN move on to Offensive Purposes.
2) Wait until your nation has 200 million people, PROPERLY roleplay deal with another nation, etc.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT just go into some storefront and say "hey i want 200 nukes". First, ASK if the person will sell you WMDs, and THEN, revise your nation's Budget. If your nation's economy is Very Strong or higher, you MIGHT be able to support a WMD Arsenal. I waited a few months to get WMDs, and so should you.

PS: How old you are doesn't mean shit. I know 13 year olds who run nations with Nuclear Arsenals with great responsability. On the other hand, I know people 18 to 21 who warmonger, godmod, spam and flame.

That's RL. This is Nationstates. I have a massive Thousand-Vessel Space Armada, my own Star System, and numerous Shipyards. The US can't even perform a mission to Mars. I have close to 40 million people in my Armed Forces. The US can barely make it past 1 million.

Nationstates is DIFFERENT from Real Life. There are hundreds of billions of people in the Nationstates world. There are only 6 billion people in the entire RL world. Get the point yet?

Rotara, this is as close as you're gonna come to Weapons of Mass Destruction for a few months.

that is because the UK was actually the original inventors of the bomb, it isn't a US invention, the problem was more money was being pumped into making tanks artillery and arming men than the bomb itself, so eventually a team of british scientists ws sent to the USA to complete the work, also because we halped establise the UN (we are one of the "big 5") we are allowed to posess WMD's

AHAHAHAHAHA! No.

Sure the UK invented the bomb. Not alone they didn't.
Also, you're kinda ignorant on the "Big 5". There are more than 5 nations with WMD. There's USA, UK, France, Russia, China, (Maybe Ukraine with nukes) Israel, North Korea, Syria, India, Pakistan, Iran, (Maybe Iraq), (Maybe South Africa), and until very recently Libya.

i'm talking of "the big 5" in a pre 1945 context the original owners of the bombs were (in order) USA, UK, USSR, France, China (later the PRC)

A young nation possessing or acquiring WMDS is highly risky. The national military will be extremely weak or in some cases non-existent. I as an older nation would like to submit my knowledge to the younger nations that request weapons of this class. I would like to say that Adenz possess no weapons of mass destruction to an extent. We do use from time to time chemically augmented artilary shells and bombs but they are strictly for defensive and possess no radilogical weapons. It is best to invest in infantry and armored tanks. And whatever you do do not get on an older nations bad side. Good day to you all!! :D

:D Adenz

Could I please have WMDs in my arsenal?. I think im old enough to handle them.

Hmn, you're a small country, the others don't seem to think you have sizable population for any WMD, however, since my nation, like many others, was once small like yours, we'll see if we can cut you a deal. We ca't promise you anything big, but we can provide something of substance.
