We wish to purchase WMDs

Postby Cardulan » Sun Nov 16, 2014 7:41 am

Dear fellow nations,
we seek your help in developing our industry. At this time, our chemical, nuclear and biological industries are not yet fully developed. To raise the standard of living in our nation we would like to request your help in improving these industries. We are interested in buying raw materials, technology and even complete plants and laboratories. We can pay you in cash, vote in your favour on WA resolutions or support your nation in other ways.
Furthermore our beloved homeland is under constant threat by morally less developed nations. Therefore we need help in developing weapons programs which allow us to shield Cardulan against chemical, nuclear or biological attacks. To that end we need to thoroughly study these types of weapons and their production. With the world becoming more dangerous every day, we are also interested in buying missile technology.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War

Requirements:
A Scientific Advancement Rating of at least 80
The willingness to concede all formulas and construction plants to Cardulan. We need to have full control over our defence industry at all the time.
Not asking too many unnessesary questions.

I, Erwin Beyer, Supreme General of the Frewsian Military and leader of the great nation of Frewsia, am willing to source you an SA-76 Orbital Strike Installation**, this wonderful weapon of destruction fires 30 meter long bolts of pure tungsten, able to travel at Mach 10, and create an explosion equivalent to a 10 Megaton Thermonuclear Missile. Now, all this comes with a free 10 year supply of rods, for all of your nefarious needs! We will also construct any manufacturing plants as they are needed.*
But this kind of technology does not come cheap, I request 100,000,000 FMC (equivalent to 0.93 USD) minted in pure gold, now this may seem like a ridiculous request, but with this technology, your military will be a force to be reckoned with.






*Manufacturing plants will be seized if the SA-76 is pointed toward Frewsia, a full scale invasion will occur if the weapon is fired upon Frewsia

**Includes all blueprints

Greetings.

It seems that you have already recieved a number of offers; we're pleased to see other nations so willing to assist one another. While many of these options could prove sufficient for your needs, when it comes the development and creation of weapons literally focused solely upon mass destruction, it seems almost ironic to settle for merely "sufficient". Is there such a thing as "sufficient threat"? Is the concept of mutually assured destruction enough to prevent war? Is one sword truly enough to keep another in its sheathe?

The answer, dear customer, is no. One sword prompts another to be drawn. Mutually assured destruction assures nothing more than destruction. Is there such a thing as sufficient threat? That question, dear customer, is precisely what I am here to explore with you, because unlike those before it, the answer is yes.

I represent a regional ally of the Aspari Syndicate known as the Alkine Isle. They are one of the most brilliant and devious weapon designers I have ever encountered, and I am privileged to call them our friends. We would like to take this opportunity to offer their wares to you now. Each ferocious weapon is more terrifying and creative than the last: from specially engineered diseases to masterfully constructed monsters, they aim to please with every new creation.They are capable of providing you with arms that qualify as "sufficient threat". They are capable of ensuring that mutually assured destruction is far preferable for your enemies. They can make conflict with your nation a hellish nightmare, found only in the dying, fevered minds of madmen. They are the ones you need to defend your people. They can be found here: Black Fang Arms. Go to them, and discover what it means to be truly well armed.

Gentlemen,

we are very pleased with the development of this fair so far. Your prices seem high but relatively fair. We need some more time to consider your offers before we come to a decision. Meanwhile we are still interested in further offers, especially regarding chemical and biological weapons.

Cardulan:
It's already too late, but I still managed to type this.

We understand your predicament, and Esalonia is also in a state of turmoil, with four warring political factions, ISE, and invaders tearing it apart. We would like to send 4 of the best designers of Esalonian WMDs, namely:

Prof. John Murkoff-an astrophysicist who earned his Ph.D at Harvard University, as well as a rocket scientist, chemist, materials engineer, and computer engineer. He spearheaded "Project Heavenly Javelins" back when he was just 45, and this lead to the creation of Esalonia's 20 kinetic bombardment satellites. Instead of making nukes, you can make the rods of the gods with him.

Rubie Garea-Murkoff-she is Prof. Murkoff's wife, and a computer scientist, IT expert, computer engineer, software engineer, and has a self-proclaimed Ph.D is "cyberepidemiology", and is the brains behind the Rubie 3.0 "Claymore", an advanced botnet capable of taking control of anything electronic, like satellites, even nukes, as well as sending millions upon billions of malware copies. She's gonna be your cyberwarfare expert from now on.

Prof. Garland Farenhold-a nuclear scientist and a rocket scientist and a chemical engineer, Prof. Farenhold has a good experience on making WMDs for the last 30 years. He is responsible for making CPH4 missiles-missiles using an explosive that is so powerful at small quantities. He, along with his frined Prof. Murkoff, has made a nuclear missile that can be launched from a kinetic bombardment satellite platform, enabling nukes to be launched to anywhere in the globe. Dreams coming true yet?

"Waldo"-he has done enough to prove his self-proclaimed title "King of Death" for the last 15 years ever since he opened up a uranium refinery beneath the backyard of his house, and has since then made research on nuclear-related subjects, as well as bioweapons that he made using only poop, water, and simple lab apparatus-E. coli, for example, when he gave a school bully a lesson by dropping some droplets of E. coli-infected water into his bully's water tumbler. He has since then created a deadly form of E. coli, and also responsible for creating F-gas, deadly enough that someone who is gonna say the f-word while in a cloud of F-gas can only say the letter f before dying. He's 30 right now (can't believe eh?).

All these in exchange that you help us fight in the war.

We hear your request. While many other nations are selling your WMD's, we can give you something bigger. We already have several orbital WMD platforms in orbit, and we could sell you some of them. One platform contains 2 10 Megaton nuclear Bombs, 3 60 Megaton nuclear Bombs, and 5 chemical weapons filled with a mix of sarin gas, anthrax, X-89 (A special chemical that drains all the water out of the human body with as little as a 10th of a teaspoon), and more.

We will sell you one of these platforms for 2.5 Million f (947.3 Million USD)

I wonder why most Nation wants to produce more weapons. Weapons which are explosives that could result t0 human damage, building structures and the nature, and most of all would result to world destruction.

Through damage to the built environment, explosive violence in populated areas can have wide-ranging and long-lasting negative effects on the well-being and survival of the civilian population. Particularly heavy explosive weapons (those which affect a wide area with blast and fragmentation) are likely to cause severe levels of harm.

Don't you that the most safe and effective weapon is prayer and unity. For the world peace.

-A ‘nuclear disaster’ as any event, brought about intentionally or accidentally, that results in the widespread expulsion of harmful concentrations of nuclear radiation
- A ‘contaminated zone’ as an area containing concentrations of radiation that can be harmful or fatal with prolonged exposure.

2) ESTABLISHES the Nuclear Disaster Response Organization (NDRO), which shall perform the following duties:

A) Confirming the severity of nuclear disasters, that is, the amount of radiation released, and its extent and distribution.
B) Providing cleanup crews to control the spread of radiation, and prevent individuals from receiving harmful doses of radiation.
C) Determining the causes of accidental nuclear disasters, for the purposes of preventing similar disasters in the future.

3) MANDATES that all member nations report nuclear disasters to the NDRO, and any surrounding nations that may have been affected by the disaster.

4) REQUIRES that nations afflicted by nuclear disasters take the following measures in dealing with the disaster, including, but not limited to:

A) Evacuating any areas that have been contaminated by radiation as a result of the disaster, beginning with areas closest to the source of radiation and moving outwards.
B) Providing clean water to areas that have had their sources of drinking water contaminated as a result of the disaster.
C) Providing immediate medical services to those suffering from radiation poisoning as a result of the disaster.
D) Clearly marking contaminated zones with multi-lingual signs, using languages present in the surrounding area.
E) Taking appropriate measures to prevent the spread of radiation by restricting or diverting the flow of contaminated waterways, where possible.

Votes Against: 985 (17%)

Implemented: Wed Sep 2 2009


Description: The General Assembly,

Reaffirming the right of member nations to defend themselves with a well equipped military,

Understanding, however, that radiological weapons serve no practical or effective military purpose, and that such weapons are more suitable for the goals of pariah states and terrorist groups,

Believing that banning such weapons will be conducive to international peace,

And to this end resolves;

1. "Radiological weapon" shall be defined as any conventional weapon designed or intended to spread radiological substances; furthermore, "radiological substance" shall be defined as any radioactive material with the capacity to be used in the construction of a radiological weapon;

2. Member nations shall be prohibited from constructing, developing, or possessing radiological weapons under any circumstances; the transfer of such weapons between a member nation and another party shall also be prohibited, excepting instances where the transfer is for the purpose of decommissioning said weapons;

3. Member nations shall take all measures practical and necessary to prohibit the transfer or sale of radiological substances from within their nation to another party if there is reasonable suspicion that such a party may intend on contravening the provisions and intent of this resolution;

4. The use of radiological weapons shall be prohibited under all circumstances;

5. The World Assembly Disaster Bureau shall have its mandate expanded to include the following:

Assisting in the process of decommissioning radiological weapons, at the request of member nations, and to facilitate and oversee the transfer of radiological weapons from member nations that lack the technological capabilities necessary to decommission such weapons to member nations that do possess such capabilities,

Assisting member nations in recovering from the consequences of a radiological attack,

Liaising with member nations, when appropriate, to develop response plans in case of a radiological attack which may include, but shall not be limited to, procedures for evacuation and decontamination and training disaster relief and response personnel;

6. Member nations shall be required to monitor and review activities within their jurisdiction when there is reason to suspect that such activities will result in the misuse of radiological weapons and shall further be required to apprehend such activities using all means necessary and practical;

7. Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as placing any limitations on the possession, development, or use of nuclear weapons.

Your Excellence,

we are well aware, that excellent technology has to come at an excellent price. Fusion bombs are very advanced weaponry, difficult to develop, difficult to maintain and even more difficult to build. Therefore your price of 10 billion NS per megaton seems reasonable. However, our funds are limited and your price heavily exceeded our budget. While we simply can not afford your fusion technology, we are still interested in doing business with you. If you are interested in selling outdated nuclear weapons at smaller prices per megaton feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your offer.

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War



To: Ahmed Tokapi

Dear Chairman Tokapi,

due to the scale and urgency of this matter, we have come to the decision to contact you directly. Cardulan is willing to enter an alliance with Al-Ahkri, however the exact details need to be written down beforehand. If your demands seem reasonable we are willing to enter an alliance with you and at the same time purchase all three warheads.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


Dear General Beyer,

before we enter the deal with your organisation we would like to ask for some clarification. The price you quoted in your first offer is about 100 million USD for one orbital station. Considering that in the 1980s the price to build a single space shuttle was about 2 billion USD it seems likely that there has been an error in the communication. It would be much appreciated if you could be so kind to restate the exact price per unit in USD.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


To Renard Sarraf

Dear Mr Sarraf,

your offer is indeed an interesting one. The goods Black Fang Arms has to offer even exceed our wildest speculations. As soon as we have time for that we will place a substantial order with your company.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


After checking the source stated in your latest communique, we came to the decision that the components of Black Missile X are exactly what we are looking for. We are not interested in buying individual warheads or the agent as such. We would like to have you built several plants in Cardulan were we could produce BMX by ourselves.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


Your offer appears to be somewhat weird but nonetheless intriguing. We will pay those persons double their Esalonian salary and we are willing to muster a volunteer corp to be send to Esalonia to assist you in your war.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


Thank you for this offer. Your prices for a technology like that are unbeatable. There are two problems which must be taken into consideration before we can settle the deal. Cardulan does not have a space program. We would need a follow up contract with Blorbs to maintain and supply our stations, probably for the next 25 years because it is not very likely that we will have our own space program any time soon.

On behalf of the Queen

Lord Argond XXIII

Minister of War


Dear Benjie,

when grown ups engage in politics there is something we call responsibility. It is similar to when the teachers protect you in school or the police protects your daddy. In the same way do the leaders of nations protect their citizens or their allies.


Whoa! Now that is interesting. The WA is a bunch of pathetic looser who can't make a decent decision and have never protected a nation or a people against war or genocide. Thanks for your interest.
