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 [[wikipedia:nuclear weapon|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).

===Salovia===
Line 132 ⟶ 190:
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.
=== Ethalria===
===Oscrelia===
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.
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.
