Nuclear weapons state

This page (or section) is a work in progress by its author(s) and should not be considered final.

A nuclear weapons state is a country that maintains a stockpile of nuclear weapons and the necessary equipment to deploy and, if necessary, launch them. A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (called a fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (called a thermonuclear bomb).

History

Nuclear weapons were first devised in bla bla bla in some year that I don't know. Since that time, 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.

List of Nuclear Weapons States

As of 2021, the following countries are either confirmed or believed to maintain nuclear weapons:

Stateless Possessors of Nuclear Weapons

• Posol Industries (Due to unique circumstances, Posol Industries was placed under the responsibility of approximately 100 nuclear weapons after the dissolution of Kostromastan. There has been heated debate on whether Volova, one of a number of nations to form from Kostromastan, is the legal successor state to Kostromastan.)

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 weapons:

• Aponivia (Lamanwasser)
• Atlae
• Axdel ( Norograd)
• Kostromastan ( Salovia)
