The single nuclear bomber carried a deadly payload as it streaked through the night sky. It was a rather old plane, the paint peeling off the sides of the craft and the wheels rusty. The pilots on board were half asleep, as the digital clock on the control interface shone a bright 0438 hours. The co-pilot, a relatively inexperienced green who had a knack for flying, checked with the test site and the map, and discovered that they would need to drop the bomb within a minute. He tapped the pilot on the shoulder. The pilot leaned over to listen.

"Hey, Li, we're close to the test site. Tell Chen to ready the bomb bay."

"Right, Lin. Hey, Chen!"

The bombardier jolted awake from his sleep.

"Eh, what?"

"Ready to drop the bomb?"

"Oh, right, the bomb."

He moved over to the lever and opened the bomb bay. The bomb was raised above the opening in the bottom of the plane, and the humming of the propellors grew unbearably loud. The bombardier started yelling.

"When to drop?"

The reply came from the cockpit.

"T minus five!"

His hands tensed around the grip of the clamp lever.

"T minus two!"

He began to sweat.

"Now!"

He pulled the lever, and the bomb smoothly and silently dropped out the bottom of the plane. He then proceeded to close the bomb bay doors, and sat on his chair. Having sweat a considerable amount, he took out his handkerchief and wiped off his forehead and face.

The bomb exploded above the ground, leaving a rather pitiful mushroom cloud that barely would have touched the roof of Mount Lijian, a mountain 2,623 metres tall.

The Empire of the Great Qing recently developed and detonated a 1 kT nuclear bomb in its western province of Xinjiang. Having received nuclear blueprints from a source which will not be specified at this time, we will continue to conduct our research for the betterment of our defence.

OOC: This nation of six million just denoated a nuclear device!! ????

OOC: Yup.

OOC: Not to clutter your thread with OOC talk but I think you RPed it pretty well and there shouldn't be a problem with this, especially since you alluded to the bomb and plane being somewhat dated. I'd participate but my nation is currently being carved to pieces by various nations lol.

[OOC: Jeez, there are a lot of "new nuclear powers" these days. Acknowledged that this one was at least not a "500 MT BOMB OMG" but a puny one, but still.]

OOC: Yeah, the 100 Million rule doesn't seem to be a rule anymore.

OOC: My nation will not be testing out it's as they are big and my government is happy to announce that only kiloton nuclear weapons less then 50KT will only be tested in a safe isolated area in FSSU with the supervision of Salzland and Falkasian top government officials. This way to prevent any international condemnation comming from any other nations or big hostile countries that have threatened an invasion of the coalition and my nation.

OOC: Is it just me, or is every new nation detonating a nuclear device as their entrance into the world stage?

OOC: This is apparently the only way they think they can earn respect from the bigger nations.

OOC: My nation will not be using the current nuclear bombs developed and produced which are of 50MT,100MT,200MT and 500MT because they are just too big, the explosion is very devestating that it could wipe out a quarter of the planet and the devestation of radiation is far more greater. The FSSU Nuclear Program at the moment is on the hold, it's program is due to resume in earlie March, after the resumption, all bombs initially planned by the government in the program will continue untill all have completed it's production, then smaller nuclear devices/bombs will only be produced with the max powerful weapon would be 20MT as highest.

We will be building mainly Kiloton bombs after all productions have been completed.

OOC: It's not even really a rule. It's more of a guideline, based on calculations on budget and the number of people in the nation that would be likely to have the necessary education to design/build one.

IC: The ASoGM has recorded seismic data at the time The Great Qing claims to have detonated a nuclear device. Based on the data, the ASoGM calculates that the device was at best a sub-critical warhead.

My nation wont see itself detonating a MT bomb, my nation will however be detonating a Kiloton bomb but not anytime soon, when it happens, it will be under the supervision of the Falkasia and Salzland.

OOC: It's not even really a rule. It's more of a guideline, based on calculations on budget and the number of people in the nation that would be likely to have the necessary education to design/build one.
OOC: I suppose it would be foolish to expect that guidelines based on realism would have particularly high priorities in II. Or realism at all, for that matter.

// SSU, please, stop defending your nukes in my thread.

Empire of the Great Qing

It is indeed true that we have detonated a nuclear device, but only of 1 kT in magnitude.

OOC: At least this particular new nation is pretty good at writing.

OOC: I would join but as the same problem as Ecmoria, however you are a good writer and just ignore the FSSU, he is on a permenant power trip. Also I technically detonated a nuclear reactor not a bomb! Its all down to the little deatils, sorry about the OOC clutter

OOC: The FSSU is happy to provide your country with intercontinental ballistic nukes of 50KT and 100KT once the production of KT versions of nukes begin.

***OPEN COMMUNICATION FROM THE EMPIRE OF NEW CHALCEDON***

We have noted that the Empire of the Great Qing has detonated a nuclear device in what appears to have been a test of capabilities.

We congratulate the Empire of the Great Qing and urge the Imperial Government to act at all times with restraint using this great and exceedingly destructive power.

[Signed]

Andras Lasarkis,

Secretary to the Crown.

Empire of the Great Qing

We thank the nation of New Chalcedon for its support and do state that in times of global uncertainty, with countries around the world detonating or threatening to detonate nuclear devices capable of flattening entire continents, the Empire of the Great Qing cannot idly sit and watch. Thus, the Emperor ordered for the detonation of a single nuclear bomb.

Offical Message From Emergency Command Of The Wolf Hold

We have detected your detonation of a nuclear weapon for test purposes and we support you in this. We are selves have recently aquired 2 free-fall nuclear weapons.

The 1st Wolf's Marshall would like to offer you any assistance you need in the matter of testing and developing new weapons. However we must add that any assistance we can give at this time is limted due to an invasion of our homeland. So we wish you well in your ventures and look forward to hearing from you.

[Signed]

Wolf's General Jebadiah- International Relations

To the Empire of the Great Qing:
We congratulate you on your success. We ourselves are also attempting to acquire nuclear weapons. Any assistance you are willing to offer would be appreciated.

Empire of the Great Qing

We thank the Wolf Hold and Comorostan for their words of congratulation. However we will not be exporting our nuclear weapons at all.

Greetings from the United Socialist States of the Soundgardens

We congratulate you on this milestone. We are currently in the production of turning uranium into a government controlled market. We would like to offer you some of this uranium for research in this field.

Congratulations again,

The United Socialist States of the Soundgardens

The FSSU invites your nation to join the coalition of Nuclear Developments and Research.

Stevidian Communication Intercept- URGENT

We urge Empire of the Great Qing not to join the Nuclear Developments and Research alliance under grounds of moral and political reasons. The nations in the alliance have weapons capable of doing horrific damage and are not shy at displaying them. Thus it has been agreed by many that they are in fact dangerous countries to be dealing (Particularly when they claim to obscene 500MT bombs).

The course you take detirmes your country's relationship with Stevid on the international stage and with regards to the nuclear issue. We will not force your hand, the decision is purely yours but there are safer friends out there than the ones to be found in Nuclear Developments and Research alliance.

OOC: I still think 500MT is ridiculous, but hey, nobody listens to me!

OOC: No I do agree, 100%. It should even exist really and I've told him already that unless he's defending against aliens then it really should be around. Heck it shouldn't exist full stop. The thing is with NS that everyone seems to think bigger is better which isn't the case esspecially with nuclear weapons. What's the point of 500MT when a nuke of only 2MT is more than enough to destroy an entire city and nearby towns?

OOC: Thats why I left the coaliton, it was ran by a country on a severe power trip

Communication from Central Command

Upon interception of the FSSU transmission, we urge the Empire of the Great Qing not to join their coaliton. The countrys involved are highly unstable and have no responsibility when it comes to nuclear weapons. We wish to encorge any diplomatic relations you might have with bigger more responsible countries when it comes to nuclear weapons.

OOC: The FSSU is happy to provide your country with intercontinental ballistic nukes of 50KT and 100KT once the production of KT versions of nukes begin.

OOC: So basically, rather than checking what the Great Qing's intentions are, you're just going to throw more nuclear weapons at him? And you wonder why we're all bent out of shape about your nuclear program!

OOC: Bingo Wold Hold and bingo Leistung.
