The Minsitry of Defence in Stevid Capitia has been viewing with great concern at the increasingly hostile attitude the Feline Catfish (FC) is taking under the subject of nuclear weapons. As such a young nation with Weapons of Mass Destruction in concerns many nations on how reliable FC will be with WMD. So far FC has not shown promise that they are trustworthy enough to be allowed nuclear weapons let alone threaten larger, more powerful and more respectful nations with such weapons.
FC has shown unreliability with nuclear weapons and something must be done to stop the hostilities and posible of nuclear war. The Stevid MoD proposes, as have a number of other nations, that they should dismatle at least half if not three quarters of their nuclear arsenal. This will, in time, lower tensions between nations opposed to FC and lower the threat that FC poses to the international community.
A vote will be cast with the international community deciding whether or not nuclear dismantlement will occur. If the vote does not pass, then Stevid will presume that no one is bothered that FC could pose a big enough threat to worry about. Stevid has taken into acount that FC is small and opposing nations are significantly larger than FC and if FC launch a nuclear weapon, full nuclear response would seem to be a good idea. However, the MoD is assuming that nobody in any nation would like there to be a nuclear war; the loss of life and damage to the environment is not worth thinking about. So the Stevid MoD calls for FC to understand the world's concern of such matters and asks for them to stand down and except the vote if the result says that you should dismantle.
Should the vote say that FC can keep their WMD's, Stevid will remain opposed but will not take any futher action unless nuclear missiles are launched.
Thank you for your attention

ooc: So come on. Who wants what?

We have not been following this matter as closely as otger nations, and indeed have only browsed a fraction of what is going on. But we have noted a slightly aggressive approach to Feline Catfish's aqquirement of nuclear weapons.
For now we vote "Complete Dissarmament", in the hopes that our vote will at least persuade the nations involved to think responsibly about what it would mean for Feline Catfish to acheive the capabilities of a nuclear state without proper restraint ethics involved in the armament.

To finalise, we will put Feline Catfish on our nuclear-watch list, where they will remain permanantly regardless of their stockpile. We do this as an act of caution, for with the aggressive tendancies that we have seen, we can not trust such a nation fully with the capapility that such weapons would allow, or with the desire for such capability.

Thank you for your vote Dostanuot Loj. And thank to the others for voting on the matter.

"This 'vote' is pointless. We shall not succumb to the opinions of a few Imperialists and pirates. We Felines are a proud people, and we shall never surrender that which is rightfully ours. We have several extremely powerful navies protecting us - to attack is folly. Pull off now. We have never threatened a single nation other than defensively."

Populist Monarch of Feline Catfish

Imperialists and pirates.

I am neither (I hate pirates), I have made my views clear on the other thread you made about your detonation.

We disapprove of the use of most, but not all nuclear weapons, and believe that although Feline Catfish has too many for their current size to be plausible, they are still entitled to their share of defence properties. Therefore, we vote in favour of a decommissioning of around 60-75% of Feline Catfish's nuclear arsenal, in the interests of peace promotion, but also in the interest of allowing this nation to capably defend themselves should they come under attack. However, they must remember, above all, that nuclear weapons alone do not win wars.

People overwhelmingly agree that there should be NO disarmament, koin the cause to defend the sovereign rights of FC.

Green Sun proposes an economic sanction of these Feline Freaks. No doubt they were created by nuclear means and are looking to changing the rest of humanity into whatever they are.

The Emperor of Trolsk released this recent message: "Trolsk stands against such aggressive tactics based upon WMD, and following our nuclear arsenal's re-activation, we declare Catfish to stand down 3/4 of its arsenal. We will, however, allow the Nation some aid with nuclear technology to build power plants, so long as it agrees with a private contract we hope they shall be interested in.."

ooc: Going offline now

ic:I'll back and i hope FC and the blockade take into acount the end vote. As for Stevid, i've stood down. I can not fight FC and his allies even with the help of my allies in the blockade.

I stand down and hope the two side find a peace route. I will become involved if nukes are used, i will not think twice about helping the blockade.
