Its a know fact that the only true thing that prevents all out nuclear war is MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction), this being that if one party fired its nuclear weapons the rest of the world would most likely fire theres and the world would end (again) as we know it.

But in recent Years the devlopment of better and more powerful Anti Ballistic Systems have rendered MAD at a lower level incressing the chances of all out nuclear war and tipping the forces of power in a unfavored postion. For this reason the Corporate States is offering the Anti Ballistic Systems treaty, a treaty to Ban research and production of ABS and a reduction of ABS. An all out ban ofcorse is a nationwide Shield system, such systems are harmful to all.

The treaty is as follows:-



The Nations of the World, hereinafter referred to as the Parties,

Proceeding from the premise that nuclear war would have devastating consequences for all mankind,

As representative of the Solux Empire, I protest this treaty vehemently. This is, without a doubt, one of the most ASININE treaties I've ever had the displeasure to lay eyes upon.

I hereby recommend, with the full consent of all the nation members who make up the Solux Empire, that instead a treaty banning of any and all weapons of mass destruction, and a global SUPPORT of anti-ballistic systems. If a system is in place to prevent any nuclear attacks, then the mere presence of nuclear arms would be not only futile, but a waste of government funds.

I call upon the all sensible countries, and good citizens of the world to recognize the shear LUNACY of this treaty, and rally behind the Solux Empire in the desire to ban nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.

and he says my treatys stupid, the idea of banning nuclear weapons is like asking the french to fight in the world war two. Its just not going to happen but if you remove the only defence from nuclear weapons and forces nations that do not remove the defence they would inturn be classed as a rogue nation and trated as such.

Besides removing nuclear weapons can never work, you may get rid of the missile but the warhead and the platonum within the warhead would become a waste product and removing nuclear waste products is far more dangerus then nuclear weapons (to the point that my missile wont kill my people where as my waste will).
