Nuclear weapons state: Difference between revisions

Nuclear weapons were first devised by the Ethalrian Empire in 1953 during the Auroran Cold War, a period of political tensions among the major powers of [[Aurora]] during the years between the [[Great War]] and Auroran Imperial War. Since then, the number of states possessing nuclear weapons has gradually increased, as have the explosive yields and capable travel distance of these weapons. Historically uranium has been the most common fissile material used in nuclear weapons, though plutonium also sees some use. Nuclear weapons have been deployed in land, sea, and air-based systems, and were even deployed in outer space during events leading up to and during the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. Packilvania conducted its first nuclear test in 1966 Wusul Kabir under the Packilvanian Communist Party. It began a rapid program of nuclear acquisition as part of a nuclear arms race with South Hills. As of 2021, it is the largest nuclear weapons state.

== List of Former Nuclear Weapons States==

As of 2021, the following countries are states that once possessed nuclear weapons capabilities but have since decommissioned or relinquished their nuclear weaponsthem, or alternatively are nations that no longer exist in the present day:

=== Axdel ===

NorogradNoroist Axdel began its own nuclear programmeprogram during the [[Auroran Imperial War]], recruiting expat scientists, including some who had worked on the Ethalria program, as afterwell recovering and reverse engineering a number of Morstaybishlian weapons. A small, potent thermonuclear warhead designated 'N-1' was developed, andduring wasthe deployedwar infor a ground-penetrating packagedeployment on the controversial [[Kevatuul]] satellite, a first strike system with ten independent reentry vehicles intended to destroy fleets and military bases in the event of a Morstaybishlian invasion of Axdel. This became the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare on Aurora when severalthe [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] militarycity basesof andRibenstadt was targeted by the cityweapon. ofWhilst Rivendaledevastating, werethe targetedsatellite proved to have a low accuracy. PostThankfully a retaliatory strike was averted and post war, as part of peace negotiations the satellite was deorbited, andfurther nodevelopment subsequentof weaponsspace wereweaponry putwas intoabandoned space(becoming a signatory of the [[Cynebury Accord]]), and NorogradAxdel was made to pay reparations for the damage. This,done however,and didlives notlost. endAxdel Norogradianretained its nuclear weaponsprogram developmentand accumulated stockpile, however, and ata leastfurther fifteen underground and two above ground tests were conducted from 1975-1996,. withThe nation maintained a land and sea based stockpile maintained for the purpose of self-defencedeterrence, eschewing the use of tactical weapons, although it abstained from disclosing the number of warheads at its disposal.

After itsthe formationNoroist government fell in 1996, Axdelthe inheritednew 532government Norogradianreported seaa andstockpile landof based532 nuclear warheads, primarily of the N-5 400kt design. In 2000 they agreed to decommission and dismantle the weapons bybefore 2025 as part of the Axdel-MBEa Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty with the MBE. The weapons were decommissioned in 2019, and are to be dismantled by 2023. However, theThe nation still has a nuclear program as part of its policy of nuclear latency, officially maintainscontinuing to maintain the facilities, materials and technical expertise necessary to quickly design and construct new warheads on demand,. andAxdel is sometimesthus considered a 'paranuclear' or 'nuclear latent' state in this regard.
