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:

Other Nuclear Weapons States without up-to-date public records

• Asendavia
• East Cerdani
• Free Pacific States
• Kuthernburg
• Nacata
• Packilvania
• Volkia

Stateless Possessors of Nuclear Weapons

• Posol Industries: Due to unique circumstances involving a lack of capability to maintain nuclear weapons and the foreseen political instability of the nation, 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, or alternatively are nations that no longer exist:

• Aponivia (Lamanwasser)
• Atlae
• Axdel ( Norograd)
• Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria
• Oscrelia ( Thorntonist Oscrelia)
• Kostromastan ( Salovia)

Axdel

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 Ethalrian military bases and the city of Rivendale 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

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 and materials necessary to design and construct new warheads on demand, and is sometimes considered a 'paranuclear' state in this regard.
