Norograd began its own nuclear programme during the [[Auroran Imperial War]] after recovering and reverse engineering Morstaybishlian weapons. A small thermonuclear warhead designated 'N-1' was developed, and was deployed in a ground-penetrating package on the controversial [[Kevatuul]] satellite. This became the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare on Aurora when several [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] military bases and the city of Ribenstadt were targeted. Post war, the satellite was deorbited and no subsequent weapons were put into space, and Norograd was made to pay reparations for the damage. This, however, did not end Norogradian nuclear weapons development, and at least fifteen underground and two above ground tests were conducted from 1975-1996, with a stockpile maintained for the purpose of self-defence
Noroist Axdel began its own nuclear programme during the [[Auroran Imperial War]] after recovering and reverse engineering a number of Morstaybishlian weapons. A small but potent thermonuclear warhead designated N-1 was developed during the war for deployment in a ground-penetrating package on the controversial [[Kevatuul]] satellite. This became the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare on Aurora, when several [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] military bases and the city of Ribenstadt were targeted by the weapon, and whilst devastating the satellite's unwieldy re-entry vehicles proved to have a low accuracy. Thankfully a retaliatory strike was averted and post war as part of peace negotiations the satellite was deorbited, further development of space weaponry was abandoned, and Axdel was made to pay reparations for the damage done and lives lost. Axdel retained its nuclear program and accumulated stockpile, however, and a further fifteen underground and two above ground tests were conducted from 1975-1996. The nation maintained a land and sea based stockpile maintained for the purpose of deterrence, eschewing the use of tactical weapons, although it abstained from disclosing the number of warheads at its disposal.


After its formation in 1996, Axdel inherited 532 Norogradian sea and land based nuclear warheads. In 2000 they agreed to decommission and dismantle the weapons by 2025 as part of the Axdel-MBE Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. The weapons were decommissioned in 2019, and are to be dismantled by 2023. However, the nation officially maintains the facilities, materials and technical expertise necessary to quickly design and construct new warheads on demand, and is sometimes considered a 'paranuclear' or 'nuclear latent' state in this regard.
After the Noroist government fell in 1996 the new government reported a stockpile of 532 nuclear warheads, primarily of the N-5 400kt design. In 2000 they agreed to decommission and dismantle the weapons before 2025 as part of an Axdel-MBE Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. The weapons were decommissioned in 2019, and are to be dismantled by 2023. The nation still has a nuclear program as part of its policy of nuclear latency, officially continuing to maintain the facilities, materials and technical expertise necessary to quickly design and construct new warheads on demand. Axdel is thus considered a paranuclear state.

Line 147: Line 173:
The inheritor nations of Tuvaltastan and Kostromastan agreed to continue the decommissioning program first set out by Salovia, and brought the total stockpile to 250 by 2005. However, the Kost-Tuva War in 2009 and 2010 between the two nations led to the creation of an additional 50 nuclear weapons between the two, and the number has remained at 306 since.

After the [[Thorntonist Oscrelia|Thornton dictatorship]] ended in the wake of the Auroran Imperial War, the new republican Oscrelian government inherited control of Oscrelia's arsenal of 23 land and air-based nuclear warheads. In 1982, in wake of a series of anti-nuclear protests, the government declared that it would be dismantling its entire nuclear arsenal from 1984 to 1986, and invited inspectors from the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]] to observe and verify Oscrelian nuclear disarmament.

Line 158: Line 179:
Oscrelia was declared free of nuclear weapons by 1986, but remained a paranuclear state until it dismantled its enrichment facilities in 1992, once again under the eyes of ACA inspectors.
