This entire post in completely OOC information...
Finally, the long-awaited completion of the JVNDS, which had previously been code-named the Tiger Claw project, was here. It was finished.

There were certain nations that had required keys to the JVNDS launching areas within their borders, however the keys, by the General's orders, were "conveniently" forgot to pass on. President Maybury was assured they would be sent on.

No other nation was to know about the completion of this project. They knew it was being built, but they would never know exactly when it would be completed.

The system, which were linked together by its own network completely cut off from the outside would like a computer with no internet, could launch every loaded nuclear silo in the JVNDS simotaniously (sp? - sry, Word wouldn't come up with the correct spelling). That means all 32,064 silos, located all across the globe. With one put of the button, Judgement Day would arrive for the entire planet.

However, as few at one nuclear ICBM could be launched, which would be Judgement Day for only a city.

This proves to be a great day for the Jaro-ViZo alliance, and those who are close allies of the great and glorious nations of ViZion and Jarridia. LONG LIVE VIZION! LONG LIVE JARRIDIA! LONG LIVE THE JARO-VIZO ALLIANCE!

Forever hold your peace.

OOC:

Jarridian forces are reading that all missiles are operational and we can now confirm that all of ours are online and ready to go. At any time, Jarridia is willing to utilize this new force to deter all attacks against ViZion, or Jarridia.

OOC: Giving ya the benefit of the doubt, you probably just missed the little note at the top of the post saying it's all OOC... AKA it's not RP'd... not IC knowledge. ;) Just a little FYI... but good post btw.

OOC: Oh, sorry. Well, for OOC sake, do you have any in Green Sun?

OOC: Yes....we do....MUAHAHAHAHA *cough cough*...um...er...right.

There are weapons located inside Green Sun that have both Jarridian and Vizionarian flags. No need to fear, you are certainly not a target, unless you wish to be added to the list. ;-)

OOC: Hmm. It must have happened a while ago since we search every incoming ship and plane and vehicle that comes in nowadays.

OOC: lol, what he's saying is, we usually will not attack host nations, unless we are to the point of no return in a war... which we are not at... and for your sake, it'd be a very good idea not to bring it to that point. Basically, that's what he's saying. lol

OOC: Hmm. It must have happened a while ago since we search every incoming ship and plane and vehicle that comes in nowadays.
OOC: This program started many years ago...

May I ask who your targets are (thankfully I can't be one for three reasons 1, You could beat me with a standard invasion, 2, we have no trade with any non-allied nations and 3, we have done nothing to annoy you.
So who exactly are your targets??? Or is this just a precaution?

OOC: This programs mission statements basically states it is completely for defence purposes only. In the future, however, with the current situation, it may end up being offensive... I can't say for sure because, I honestly don't know what'll happen with this war... lol... the way this war goes will basically determine what happens with the JVNDS. At the moment, it's purely defensive. ICly, people, for obvious reason, are thinking othewise however... and for good reason w/ my recent moves...

OCC: You aren't gonna interfere with soverign nation nuclear testing, are you? I got some stuff on the not so distant horizon I want to test out.

OOC: Oh, no, no... we actually support and encourage this. Any nation who tries to fight a nation for testing or creating nuclear weapons we WILL, however, stop - that is, as long as the testing does not encrouch upon other nations lands or people.

[OOC: Congratulations. Your new weapons are of no concern of mine, as you have no silos in Praetonia or in any nation nearby. At least I dont think so - http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/ComradeMatt/HavenMap.png ]

OOC: Am I a target for one or more of hte following reasons which also I wish to qualify me for the Axis of Evil List

1. I just put down an insurrection by brutally massacring the populace on the planet Harvest
2. I'm buying a planet from a known maniac and then I will exterminate the populace of the planet
3. I sold nuclear weapons to several nations without background checks including the Conservative Union
4. I sold chemical and biological weapons to other nations under the guise of "research for defensive purposes"
5. I threatened to vaporize you from space once
6. I started a war that ended in the deaths of more than 25 million people.

Umm... What's the point of using this for 'offensive purposes' since most likely 99% of the nations here will just ignore you if you decide to get lazy and carpetnuke people to start a conflict?

OOC: I forgot to ask, any silos in Leafanistan, being a closed communist police state with imaginary diplomatic reforms means that smuggling in a weapons system and building a silo secretly will be difficult.

[OOC: Added to the fact that anyone who fires 36,000 nukes at the same time will promptly be obliterated by return fire.]

OOC: I was thinking about bankruptcy, actually.

OOC: I was thinking about bankruptcy, actually.
No he could probably afford it. Even if each nuke cost 1,000,000 / year to maintain then it would only be $36bn / year, which isnt unreasonable with NS defence budgets. Im not really sure if this is actually useful though and (Im not entirely clear on this one) if he's built this inside other peoples' nations without asking them then he's probably looking at an angry coalition coming to get him in the very near future. If the nuke construction is not simply ignored, that is. On the other hand, I may have gotten it wrong and all of the siloes may have been built in consenting nations.]

OOC: I was thinking about bankruptcy, actually.

OOC: How would you file for bankrupcy if you are a pile of dust ascending into the atmosphere?

You also have, aside from maintaining the nuclear warheads themselves, the actual launch platforms and systems (i.e. the actual missiles and silos). Add to that, you have to spend money to protect and store those warheads, along with money to train your crews (I sincerely hope that the operators are not some 18 year olds off the street), put the systems on alert status, and so on. Yes, he could probably afford it, but if he is going to maintain it for a very long time, have the system in optimal condition, and still maintain things like a ballistic missile defence system...

OOC: Well, I'm not THAT bad of a RPer were I'd just put a button and the world goes boom and turns into a glass sphere.

If it were used offensively, I wouldn't be lazy like that... have you ever seen me (besides in threats where the entire thing is a joke... like the Jaro-ViZo war from like a year ago) where I launched all my WMD's at once? Besides, as one of you pointed out, it'd basically be suicide. Although I don't think I'd be worried about foreign WMD's... with that many nukes being launched by me alone, it'd be enough to kill ever sign of life on this planet, cause a nuclear winter, and God knows what else would happen. I'm not that dumb, even if you think I am... ;) lol

And to answer Leafanistan's question about if he's a target... once again, this project is purely defensive right now, and no one, I repeat NO ONE is being targetted, regardless of what assumptions are being made ICly... although the assumptions ICly are fine... after all, the top priority with the JVNDS is a fear factor... as well as defending ViZion and Jarridia in the case of a massive assault against either or both nations.

You know what I find funny. You all sit here and yell at ViZion about these nukes. But you forget about the other guy with a set of keys to this machine. I mean, I paid just as much money for this as he did, and Jarridians put just as much effort in to it as any ViZionarian...and *snivels* I get no respect. Gosh....I'm probably the one more likely to turn the key and launch the nukes...and ViZion gets all the attention.

OOC: hahahaha, that's hallarious... and absolutely, 100% true.

Bump for ViZy
