Your nation's second-strike capability

[Songhia]

Ohhh, lawd, we would all be dead instantly. We don't have even have first strike capability, let alone second or third strike.

[The Southern Arabian Republic]

What is The Southern Arabian Republic's second-strike capability?

If a nuclear missile were to be launched at the emirate, our chance of recovering and our second-strike capability would both be null and void. The Southern Arabian Republic has no stockpile, not even a single weapon, that is nuclear or biological. Our northern neighbour, The Northern Arabian Republic, however, does have a nuclear weapon. This is why the emirate has international protection as if they were to launch it, the emirate would completely fall. The government has set a plan for later this year, with international help, to build our first nuclear weapon and nuclear submarine.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

The TBRE's nuclear arsenal uses mostly second-strike tactics, with nuclear missiles being deployed around the world secretly in 4 ballistic submarines.

[Vloskovia]

If land-based launchers were destroyed, the Vloskovian Navy possesses the ability to launch nuclear missiles from their Boykin-class submarines, equipped with a number of VMS-84N-M ballistic missiles. The VMS-84N is equipped with seven 410 kt warheads. The Navy also carries a number of VMS-78N cruise missiles onboard their Vilrsaz-class carriers, which can be air-launched from SF-A2 strike aircraft.

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Given the vast amount of funding poured into Samozniy Civil Defence and Strategic Rocket Forces, we would like to believe that we would be aware of any incoming first strike within minutes of launch.
As such, our second strike would be able to partly or even mostly launch before the beginning of enemy counterforce strikes land.

Basically, the same as our first strike, only it lacks the overarching strategy of the first strike plan - everything slated for first-launch is still launched.
The other issue with this is that, in order to try and launch as much of the arsenal before the initial counterforce strikes hit, is that we can't stretch our arsenal into an attritional war of counterforce, counter-military, counter-industrial and counter-population waged over a period of days or weeks. Though, since we know most of their arsenal has launched, we can funnel a large amount of warheads intended for counterforce into counter-military and counter-population strikes. Though, this supposed advantage will be mitigated by the fact that many warheads will be unable to launch before being struck.

[Segland]

Such information is classified, though it is known that Segland has the capability to strike back through use of its nuclear submarine fleet. At least 10 of these submarines are constantly lurking around beneath the oceans.

[Meritocratic States]

PMT: Confederacy of Meritocratic States (Current Date: January 12, 2043)

The Meritocratic States utilizes ground-based high-energy particle beams to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles and disable them safely. The SAT-10 Particle Defensive/Offensive Cannon is the defensive/second strike weapon used by the 23rd Anti-WMD Battalion of the Electronic Support Branch.

It uses a particle beams to intercept ICBMs and disable them. Alternatively, orbiting deflector satellites can be used to divert the beam to anywhere in the world. Alternatively, the N2 Warheads are also used if the SAT-10 is not enough to cause maximum damage to infrastructure in a Second-Strike scenario. N2 Warheads are as strong as nuclear bombs and generate an electromagnetic pulse, but produce no radioactive fallout, allowing them to be used more often than the nuclear counterparts.

[Cruciland]

Seeing how nuclear missiles just get shot down or remotely detonated over enemy territory, (or deflected by force fields in FT settings) we can immediately respond with second-strike maneuvers. Seeing just how prone we are to hoarding weapons of mass-destruction, our second-strike capability is not only fast, but very, VERY hard.

[Unita Teccon Olympia Enclave]

Yes we have an orbital missile base which can target specific targets and eliminate them.

[The Stormcloak Rebels]

...we don't follow.

What on Mundus is a "nuclear weapon?"

[Samozaryadnyastan]

...we don't follow.

What on Mundus is a "nuclear weapon?"

A glorious earthly embodiment of the omnipotence of your Lord.

[Cruciland]

...we don't follow.

What on Mundus is a "nuclear weapon?"

Just imagine casting a fireball that makes an explosion big enough to destroy the Throat of the World. That is a "nuclear weapon."

[Armstrongs Landing]

The JS Military operates a dispersed first and second strike capability to prevent the nation itself being targeted to neutralize a nuclear threat. Actual numbers and deployment are of course classified.

[The Stormcloak Rebels]

...we don't follow.

What on Mundus is a "nuclear weapon?"

Just imagine casting a fireball that makes an explosion big enough to destroy the Throat of the World. That is a "nuclear weapon."

...this interests us greatly.

[Great Nepal]

There is a secret command centre, which may or may not be within sovereign territory of Greater Nepal which will take over command of entire nuclear facility should the primary one which may or may not be within sovereign territory of Greater Nepal be destroyed. Second strike relies on undisclosed nuclear submarine and automated launch of entire nuclear arsenal as soon as incoming nuclear weapon is detected by several early warning stations throughout the globe and in orbit.

[Central and Eastern Visayas]

The CEV active nuclear arsenal is geared towards a second-strike role using SSBN's.

[Sterne]

The Kingdom of Sterne has a non-specific number of nuclear-capable submarines, should worst come to worst. Projections show that our orbital weapons (whose primary purpose, we would like to reassure the world, is to defend against weapons that would neccessitate a second-strike) could cause some localized damage on their own.

We also may or may not have some land-based launchers stationed on a number of our island colonies.

[Sebastianalandia]

Sebastianalandia has an entirely non-existent second strike capability. Nuclear arms are banned; instead, the entirety of our ballistic technology consists in anti-nuclear weaponry.

[Betalia]

Betalia does not have a nuclear arsenal and is constitutionally forbidden from having one.

[New Terran Union]

Antimatter warheads in the multiteraton range, directed fusion warheads in the multigigaton to multipetaton range, warheads capble off causing a star to go super nova, singularity generators, and relativistic warheads are all available in sufficient qauntities to destroy several hundred star systems, and then some.
In order to strike at our planet you must first get past a planetary sheild capable of handling focused multiexaton blasts, if you can even get to it first.

Any "attempt" to use planetary bombardment of an kind is grounds for immediate retaliation. Retaliation can happen in a matter of minutes even if you are on the other side of the universe.

Warning to potential foes: Ways to destroy entire gelexies are currently under development.

[Dominion of Drakia]

The Drakian nuclear arsenal is deployed from both RDAF/RDN aircraft and RDN submarines. Thus, we have a second strike capacity.

[Velkomorave]

None. Wouldn't a second-strike capability imply that we have the capability for a first-strike?

[Hatsunia]

None. Wouldn't a second-strike capability imply that we have the capability for a first-strike?

Basically, this. Hatsunia has never had nukes.

[The Legion of Kane]

Many many hidden missile silos, train launched nuclear missiles, nuclear submarines, and more.

But those missiles won't breach our intricate and complex system of protection. Lasers, missiles, satellites.

[Burdiinway]

Most tribes of Burdiinway have no direct access to the rather small nuclear arsenal that the Herskende Kommune has access to. The Herskende Kommune can order nuclear retaliation on the aggressor if any of the tribes, which are all very loyal to each other, are attacked by another nation
