Sexaria's Emperor Sextus made a statement today regarding his state's newfound quest for weapons of mass destruction. "As our national population has now passed the 6-million mark, I believe it is time that we become self-sufficient militarily. No longer will any nation be capable or marching through our land unquestioned. Soon they will have to pay for any injustices in the past and present."

Following the establishment of Sexaria's new and highly-funded space program, nicknamed "SEXSA" and the nation's subsequent success in demonstrating their Inter-Continental missile capabilities, many scholars felt WMD's were the next step for this rogue nation. Today they were proven right when Sextus made a call to any nation willing to sell Sexaria nuclear weapons. "Please," the ruler asked "anyone out there willing to help my country to reach its full potential, we are willing to pay quite a price for any nuclear weapons." As this tiny country begins to value its military capabilities dearly, it is clear to the U.N. and others in the international scene that they will see more of Sexaria in the future, for better or for worse.

Just be careful, this sort of thing attracts the attention of some very big, very nasty players...

Our nation was once as small as yours, we understand the 'desperation' for a higher power in the world. But a nation young like yours, may be better off designing your own path to nuclear technology - as nuclear technology is a complex one, it would probably be more wise to construct your own nuclear weapons than take those of other nations where their design may vary from what you know.

For approx. 5 million dollars you can be the proud owner of a suitcase tactical nuclear device.

hey if you buy half a dozen from me i give a discount!!!

Chellis warns this young nation that it may find itself the target of TICBM's(Tactical, convential warheads).

i must second that warning

I fail to see how the development of nuclear, chemical, and/or biological weapons will grant you anything other than a collective series of yawns. Perhaps some random condemnations, or, the occational nutter that will offer to sell you cut-rate weapons for grossly inflated prices.

Furthermore, how will nuclear weapons protect your nation from others that are 10, 20, even 30 times your size? Many, many nations have active forces larger than your entire population, or technology that would make your R&D people weep.

There are far better ways to make your footprint be known in the world. The reckless quest for weapons of mass destruction is not the path to take.

ICBM's and nuclear weapons are, by and large, a waste of money. You'd be better off spending that money on, well, anything. How about power generation? Or even training your forces? Or, even better, the creation of embassies in other countries to form peaceful ties. Your 'nukes' will largely be ignored.

Wow, Hack actually roleplays

:shock: :shock:

--The developement and possesion of nuclear and biological weapons is not only illegal (we believe) but a futile exercise given the size and flippant nature of your political neighbours. we suggest you focus your attention of the domination of the world through less violent and wasteful means--

It would only be illegal to those who are in the UN.

Yup. Just not usually in II.

We will let you have a 'Al Qaeda big-boom backpack mark 1' for $1,000,000. Easily portable and come with verses of the Koran lovingly embroidered upon the inside flap.
This is a tactical nuclear device.

The Dominion wishes to point out that in addition to the various arguments already presented here Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical weapons do not offer protection from larger nations, let alone a means with which to hold such nations hostage. This is because larger nations tend to have NBC stockpiles that a nation of your size can only dream of, not to mention countermeasures against the most common delivery systems. Even if you were to develop some form of crude nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, a larger nation would likely simply prevent you from using them.

For instance, consider what would happen if a nation your size was to loft an ICBM at someone of the Dominion's size. Our Early Warning satelites and ground stations would warn us of the launch. Orbital-phase ABMs would be lofted to intercept your missile's reentry vehicle. If the ABMs do not do their job, then the shorter range Terminal Phase ABMs would engage the inbound RV. On the off chance that it actually makes its way past our defenses, the Dominion has a policy of responding to nuclear strikes against our civilian populations with a combination of high-persistancy nerve agents and chemical weapons capable of rendering a nation agriculturally barren for up to fifty years. This is not an atypical reaction. Other large nations would simply employ nuclear weapons and lower the offending country's Average Ground Level by about fifty feet.

Simply put, when it comes to the use of nuclear weapons, most countries have a policy of "Nuke 'em 'till they glow and shoot 'em in the dark". You would be better advised, as has been suggested before, to direct your efforts towards domestic issues, or if you absolutely must increase your armed strength, towards training and equipping your conventional forces. In this, the Dominion is well equipped to aid smaller nations such as yourself. If you choose to continue on this quest, then you will do so without our assistance, however. That particular candle may make a pretty flame, but if you persist in reaching for it, we can only pray that you do not get too badly burned.

Not to mention that nuclear weapons and their accompanying ICBMs are not exactly cheap to maintain. Most nations have a rule about WMDs. (Namely only nations over 100 million people can have them, unless they can provide proof they acquired them from somewhere else.)

Hmm lets see someone who wants WMD, and only has a population of 6 million, no i dont think you should have them.

1) You are most likely someones puppet so if you do get the WMD's you will probably kill millions of people.

2)If you are not someones puppet, then you are a noob which means you will probably start a war and atempt to god mode.

So cease and desist wait till your population gets bigger. And if someone does invade you, (Without cause) you can probably count on international assistance for your nation.

3) This is me being polite, you are to stop attempts at wmd until you are bigger.
