It has been Mondoths policy to not allow nations to flagrantly sell certain Biological or chemical weapons to just any buyer, but until now there has been no attempt to establish exactly which nations were capable of safely and resonsibly handling these most dangerous of weapons and only blanket blockades were capable of stemming the flow of Biological weapons to the irresponsible nations. Int he interesats of practicallity and International peace, as well as to further research to counter the threats that Biological weapons pose. Mondoth has seen fit to establish a set of Lists that will clarify which nations can responsibly sell and purchase Biological weapons. The first list is the Responsible Nations list, nations are nominated top that list by another nation (no nation may nominate itself) and then their recent actions, policies and tendencies are reviewed, if they are found to be responsible they will be placed on the list. The Second list if the list of Irresponsible nations, Nation are chosen for this list in the same way as the list of Responsible nations. If a nation does not qualify for the list that it is nominated for, then it will be investigated for being placed on the other list.

The FInal list is that of Responsible Producers of Biological Weapons, only nations wishing to have themselves placed on this list may apply, after application they will be investigated for responsible practices in developing and selling biological weapons. If accepted they will be asked to sell only to responsible nations, to contribute information and cures to an international aid organization so that if any of their weapons are used irresponsibly cures will be easily available to the victims and, if cures are unavailable, so that a cure may be researched.


At this Time the following nations have been confirmed for the Responsible Nations List:
ViZion
Jarridia
Euroslavia
Pacitalia
Iuthia
Green Sun
Borman Empire
Generic Empire

The following nations have been placed on the list of Irresponsible Nations(reasons appended):
Credonia-Has shown itself to be careless with nuclear weaponry, at this time we cannot consider Credonia a nation responsible enough to handle most Biological Weapons.(case under review)


At this Time the following nations have been confirmed for the Responsible Biological Weapons Producing Weapons List:


All lists may be added to or subtracted from as events prove them to be inadequate representations.
If a nation has been nominated but does not appear on either list, then their case is still being examined.

OOC: Though I can't say that relations will ever be good between our nations, Verghastinsel would never allow the biological agents it now uses in warfare, or it's nuclear stockpile, to be sold - regardless of the request or requestor.

Our nation would just like to inquire as to how nations who are declared irresponsible would be prevented from aquiring WMD from other nations?

We request that the following nations be deemed 'Irresponsible';
Automagfreek
Guffingford

Kraven Corporation

Vice President for Defence John Newman was fielding questions in his bi-weekly news conference with members of the Sarzonian media about various programmes in the Sarzonian military.

"Mr. Vice President, Salvatore Omalli from the Daily Mail here. Is it true that you've asked the Incorporated Ordnance Company to begin production of biological weapons?"

Newman raised his eyebrow slightly, viewing Omalli as if he had just beamed down from another planet and had grown six tentacles in front of his eyes.

"The only things we've specifically asked for from IOC are the projects that have already been brought to light," Newman said. "We are continually looking for ways to improve the warfighting capability of our fighting forces. Whether that takes the form of biological weapons, I'm not prepared at this time to say."

"Mr. Vice President, Carree Wells from Newschannel Five, Have you discussed a policy with regard to the production or sale of biological weapons?"

"Again, at this time, I am not prepared to discuss any policies regarding biological weapons," Newman intoned patiently. "We do not favour the sale or distribution of weapons of mass destruction without careful consideration, and it is a violation of Portland Iron Works policy to sell weapons of mass destruction to their export customers save for our very closest allies."

"Mr. Vice President, "Felipe Collazzo from El Mundo Libre here, is that policy dictated by the government?"

Newman chuckled slightly, drawing widened eyes from the reporters gathered in the press room.

"Obviously, you don't quite seem to grasp the kind of influence Portland Iron Works has," Newman said with a good natured smile. "We don't dictate their policy. If anything, the only thing we tell them is to fax us a copy of their policy so we can plagarise it," he said, drawing laughs from the press.

"You plagarise them," a cub reporter asked, drawing a full-throated chortle from the room, including Newman himself.

"No, they write our policy," Newman said in between guffaws. Turning serious for a moment, he began again. "Our view on the Portland Iron Works policy is that it is a well-considered, responsible policy and has at times proven to be more stringent than our own policy. We have taken many of our cues from the Portland Iron Works, and based on the close affiliation among the three major Sarzonian military manufacturers, we believe that represents a uniform policy on the sale or distribution of weapons of mass destruction. We have adopted most of the particulars of that policy for our own, though our review process involves a few different steps."

"Mr. Vice President, what about Mondoth's List of Responsible Nations?"

"We are disappointed to note that two nations we consider hostile, namely Generic Empire and Borman Empire, are included among that group," Newman said. "However, we value the use of careful evaluation of prospective customers and believe that process has served our military industries well over the lengthy time the companies have in existence."

"Do you think Sarzonia is or should be on that list?"

"We believe our record speaks for itself. If that merits our space on the List, then great. If not, that's life."

"Mister Vice President, Dieter Von Steuben from the New Bismarck Inquirer here, what about the Defence Condition level? Is it true you're going to drop to DEFCON 3?"

"That information is closely guarded, Mr. Von Steuben, we'll make an announcement when we've considered all the particulars."

The Pure Socialist Holy Empire would like to request that The Murderous Zionist Entity of Kahanistan be put on the Irresponsible list for the use of it's nuclear weapons against a nation that took no aggressive action at all against them. Killing over 12,647 People, including 212 School Children.

Official Statement from the Federal Central Government
Ministry of International Relations and Foreign Affairs
Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia

We greatly appreciate the fact that many nations consider us responsible with military ordnance and supplies, a status we have worked hard to achieve in consortati with our equally prioritised policy of searching for peaceful solutions to conflicts, in place of immediate military intervention. Although we engage in sales of military equipment for the four main branches of national defence, we do not sell weapons of mass destruction. However, to have such a title bestowed upon us will help to, as said, further the knowledge worldwide that Pacitalia can be trusted with protection and storage of any serious weaponry.

That being said, we find it troubling to be named in the same list as known belligerent nations, such as the Borman and Generic Empires. It is odd to see such nations, known for their hunger for flesh and blood in the fires of war, added to a list of nations who the government of Mondoth would consider responsible for handling serious-category destruction weaponry.

Should you have any reasons not to exclude these two nations from the list, we would be pleased to hear them. I will also point out that, should the Incorporated Government seek to be included on this list, the Pacitalian government fully supports such a move. The Incorporated Government and the military of Sarzonia have proven, time and time again, that they can be responsible with such weaponry.

While we are aware of the aggressive tendencies of several nations on labelled 'responsible' we have as of yet found no evidence of misuse or irrespponsiblity concerning Weapons of Mass Destruction and until such evidence is found, they will remain on the list.

OOC: If you have evidence that any nations status regarding these lists should be changed, please give me a link.

What about Southeastasia?

The Red Tidean Goverment looked at the list, and promptly stamped it with their IMPOSSSIBLE TO ENFORCE POLICY stamp before filling it away somewhere, the Tech-Com Corporation would continue to manufacture chemical and biological weapons and, if they wanted to, sell to whoever they like.

The Red Tide Mafia(who sold bio and chemical weapons more often then the Tech-Com Corporation, just a lot more discreetly) simply(but silently) laughed.

It is the wish of Anagonia to be placed on a NEUTRAL standing. The reason? No one gives a **** about us. Our past isn't remembered, nor is anything we do. Basically, we'd just LOVE to have our name somewhere.

Celtayoshi detests Biological and Chemical Weapons, but does stockpile nuclear armaments. We have the strictest of regulations on the testing of chemical and biological agents, and at no point have we made weapons out of any such research. We do maintain the capability to produce small warheads, but not on any large scale. Hence, we aren't quite sure what category we would fit into.

We still wish to know how this list will be enforced? Even if the nations that have been deemed irresponsible are unable to purchase WMD from other nations what's to stop them from making their own or corroberate with other nations deemed irresponsible? It seems that this list if it is attempted to be enforced could cause more harm then good to us at least.

Harold Yonk, Press Secretary
The People's Republic of New Sans

These lists are not meant to be enforced in any literal way, it is simply a guide we hope that Biological weapon producing and pruchasing nations will take note of. As an example on how to treat this list, Mondoth will not deal with Irresponsible Producers or people who seel to Irresponsible nations regularly.
List to be updated soon.

That being said, we find it troubling to be named in the same list as known belligerent nations, such as the Borman and Generic Empires. It is odd to see such nations, known for their hunger for flesh and blood in the fires of war, added to a list of nations who the government of Mondoth would consider responsible for handling serious-category destruction weaponry.

Official Imperial Communiqué:

To: Pacitalia & Mondoth
From: Chancellor Licinius

We find the accusation of belligerent to be a hilarious twisting of the truth. As is evident in such conflicts as the recent hostilities with Imported Vizion, we sought peace and to avert war throughout the entirety of the conflict; despite the fact that Vizion went so far as to launch nuclear weapons upon Generian citizens for no reason. We have always taken this path, however we know that some nations will not fall to our pen, and so we are ready to use our swords, a necessary stance in today’s turbulent and hostile world. Other than the conflict with Vizion we have not been in any war for countless years. However, we find that any and every time we check up on the rouge nation of Pacitalia all they seem to be doing is exerting blatant imperialism and ‘flexing’ their muscles upon weaker defenseless nations. The only reason you accuse Borman Empire and Generic Empire of these crimes is because we are your enemy due to the fact that we often stand alongside with these smaller nations to fight off your blood thirsty armies. You have even sunk so low as to attempt assassination at a peace conference, and then arrest the national leaders of the opposing side who survived the ordeal; all the while in a neutral nation during a peace conference!

This ‘hunger for flesh and blood in the fires of war’ is an unfounded, cruel accusation, which can only be seen as descriptive feature of the nation of Pacitalia. They war constantly and commit untold genocide upon nations they invade because of their lust for foreign land. The Borneric Empire of Uberness (OOC: Name Borman and Generic assumed when they merged) frequently stand against these atrocities, so passionately as to cast off ancient allies for they’re partaking and endorsement of these atrocities.

And further, to the main point, handling of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Borman has proven itself to be competent and able to use and produce WMD. Despite the fact that both nations within the Borneric Empire sit upon some of the largest stockpiles of WMD in the world; it is quite possible to count the times they were used on one hand. Two. Once when both nations were much smaller they were employed against the evil nation of The Lightning Star when they continued to commit genocide and slavery despite a large coalition against them. The second time, Tungsten rods were used in retaliation against Pacitalia’s unjust and unprovoked attack against the Generian capital city with tungsten rods.

For you see, it is quite evident here that the evil power of Pacitalia conspires to keep his opponents, those seeking truth, liberty, justice, life, and civil rights for all, at an unfair disadvantage so that he is free to do as he wants, and threaten opponents with WMD. We shall not sit idly by and watch as the evil nations of today’s world take one step closer to ultimate unchallenged power. As such we ask that Pacitalia’s name be struck from the list of Responsible Nations and be added to Irresponsible nations.

Clearly you are incorrect in your assumptions, Chancellor Licinius. None of my government officials or military heads have a lust for foreign land; instead, the interest in defending the homeland from belligerent insurgencies such as the Borneric Empire plays an integral role in our defence policy.

That said, I find it highly amusing that you can be so bold as to accuse us of rogueist, genocidic imperialism. As one of the founding members of PEST, a civil-rights watchdog, and a leader in the cause of global populace equality, in addition to the fact that we are one of the most respective countries towards foreign cultures and governments and a world leader in diplomacy, this should be enough to dispel the fallacious lies spun forth by the propaganda team working overtime in the hallowed halls of the Borneric Empire.

Finally, I find it odd that you accuse us of attacking the Generic Empire at any point in time. If we had even considered such a move at all, we would still not do so, for it would waste valuable tungsten rod supplies on a nation unworthy of such expenditure. Obviously, the fact that we were added to the list immediately, without asking to be included, says something about foreign views towards our policies and actions over the past many years.

Well if so then it is quite obvious that in the heads of these government and military officials they view foreign lands as a part of the homeland, needing defense from it’s own natives and inhabitants.

We call them as they are. Even if these claimed credentials were accurate, as we highly doubt they are, and if so no doubt the agencies are laced with corruption, then we would like to gesture to Automagfreek. One of, if not the, most genocidal nation to have ever graced the earth; founder of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; full of nations such as Borman and dedicated to promoting peace, equality, and rights to all the earth. The company one keeps and the agencies one founds are not a clear sign of one’s national interests and tendencies. We find the claim of being “one of the most respective countries towards foreign cultures and governments and a world leader in diplomacy” to be quite, let’s say inductive of laughter. Perhaps in your own twisted warped view of reality you view yourself to be a proper candidate for this claim, but here in reality any and all nation(s) who truthfully know Pacitalia see this as a blatant lie. Diplomacy is not an art of skill which the heathens in Pacitalia possess, nor is warfare against other civilized nations, hence your lack of ability to triumph over the Borneric Empire as of yet. However you are quite skilled at enslavement, genocide (Your countless organized mass murders), and motivating populaces to commit acts of untold horrors, and other things like that. Incase you don’t know, these traits aren’t typical of nations skilled in diplomacy and fighting for global equality. And our propaganda team needs no overtime, seeing as our propaganda team is merely a library of collected information on nations such as Pacitalia and books on History, along with other various collections of the truth.

Odd? Was it not your nation that launched Tungsten Rods upon the capital of Generia during the second war of the Roach immediately after attempting assassination and arresting other leaders? History does not lie, it was you. “Unworthy of such expenditure”? Surely you were just fearful of your armies, quite capable of decimating those of lesser nations, going up against a real army with the will for freedom fighting foremost in their minds and hearts. As such you sought to cripple the infrastructure and leadership of Generia to prevent their men from reaching your shores and liberating your populace from their tyrannical oppressive dictatorial regime in power.


“Obviously, the fact that we were added to the list immediately, without asking to be included, says something about foreign views towards our policies and actions over the past many years.” And were we not too? We are good nations with almost completely clean records of WMD use. Your nation however must be struck from the list because of its tendencies to fight dirty, and use anything necessary to win. I would not be surprised if you gassed an entire nation just for not agreeing with you, oh wait, you already have.
