The Incorporated States of Various other Countrys, having finally recently gotten enough funding to pursue a REAL nuclear program,(due to over a billion people and a 100% tax rate, we dont do anything halfway, and we dont believe in national debt), successfully tested a nuclear warhead this saturday on a barren(now) island off our coast. The test went as expected and additional warheads and delivery devices, such as ICBMs, are already being manufactured.
The government has issued a statement saying that no nuclear strike will be made with out "excessive consideration", while also warning that all attacks directed at The Incorporated States of Various Other Countrys would be met swiftly with a greater than or equal amount of deadly force.

Another nuclear power emerges, our enemies will surely the might of our powerful weapons.

As a defense precaution, the money previously routed toward research of nuclear technology is now directed toward various means to defend a nuclear attack.

We the Empire of the Upperlands find it a dangerous situation that more and more countries are developing nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction. Our country does not support the current race for the most powerful weapons though we have been forced to invest some money in a small volunteer army.

We therefore ask friendly to rethink the further development of weapons of such usage.

In name of the Upperlands
Minister LochNESS

The Macabean nation congratulates you but as the Empire of the Upperlands said, we prefer that nations stop seeking out nuclear armaments. Our Wermacht sees nuclear weapons as a sign of weakness and understand thats its contrary to the rules of chivalry.

We are sorry for the ill feeling you feel as a result of our actions. However our government is motivated to take all means nessesary to obtain a multitude of the "biggest" weapons available. Your small country, having only 8 million people, should realize that nuclear technology is expensive, and a burden on your taxpayers. I advise you to seek protection from a nuclear power for your own protection, as your pacifist stance is an invitation to disaster.
Our people, being very aggressive and expansive find that the only way to keep our own standard of living high is to trample the unfortunates who cross our path.

As of now, we are on the verge of developing more military technology

you prove to me that insperations exist and that we shoudl continue our nuke prgram. Why not have ships have tatical nukes in their guns. Think a 16 inch shell comes down its nuclear that ship sinks!

Welcome to the club! *pops champagne*

in response to the macabees, previous post was addressing the upperlands only:

we accept your congratulations, however we disagree with many of your beliefs expressed.
Nuclear weapons do not seem to us to be a sign of weakness as only the strong deserve them, and those who dont have them are in danger from those who do. We tend to crush foes, and this is another tool to do so with. However we do note that the long lasting effects of our current nuclear technology is inefficient to add the attacked country to our incorporated lands. Therefore we will excersise restraint and only use these weapons when it is economically feasable.

I encourage you to look at some of my previous posts, especially the one at the following location

to see my views on cheating and such, aka my own code of chivalry.

while we do not claim to only reserve our WMD for retaliation against the same, we do affirm that they will not be used in a 'reckless' manner either.

Nuking people is bad, but sometimes you don't have any other choice. Small countries with nukes are much more likely to hold off war until they have bigger conventional armies. Nukes are the only way to faze some recently imperialistic countries (coff coff), Agua Puro in fact has begun its own program: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88395&start=20

Anyway, good for you.

i thank free rumania and lima beens for their congratulations. We have considered lima beens idea and it is still under development and testing for feasability. The main problem we forsee is accidental ammunition explosions. We will continue to review the idea and eventually accept or dismiss it

"The world was almost won by such an ape!
The nations put him where his kind belong.
But don't rejoice too soon at your escape -
The womb he crawled from is still going strong."

Bertolt Brecht, The resistible rise of Arturo Ui.

Good job.

We thank crimson blades and agua puro for their congratulations. We do realize that while many people feel nuking people is bad, we believe that a death is a death, no matter how it happens. death by nuke is the same as death by bullet to a single individual.
We are no longer a small country, it was our quest for a large conventional military that caused delay in our nuclear program. Congratulations on your own program agua puro, however i have viewed it and i would remind you that godmodding is easy to do and there is a fine line not to cross.

Our stance is unchanging, our way is clear, our resolve unwavering. Those in our way will be crushed, and their country added to our burgeoning collection

Of course we want to congratulate the VOC in ther succesfull acomplishment. But we were also shocked by the succesful test. So here by the congratulations. We hope you will use your technology wisely. The long term concequences are far more terrible with a nucleair strike. It renders a place unusable for decades to centuries of uninhabitable or anything. Therefore conventional weapons have your preference.

we are aware of the drawbacks of nuclear war. We will definitely consider all of them before we make a non-defensive decision regarding our arsenal. However we will make no guarantees.

we hope our weapons will enable us to have a better diplomatic relationship with many...difficult...nations at the moment.

(i should probably add that we have devoted enough of our budget toward nuclear weapon development that we should soon have enough nukes to destroy the world. If we are going down, we will take everyone else with us. :twisted: )
