Huswyae is one of the largest users of bioweapins. We have many diseases we can spread, and we plan to spread them on communist countries! We use bioweapons instead of non-nuclear missiles (we only use missiles if they are nuclear)

Why use bioweapons when nuclear devices offer much higher damage? That said bioweapons are stocked.

Biological weapons are banned.

Thorneyre has made effort to weaponize the Blackpox and Sinjay Virus. The Blackpox Virus has been utilized in several different gas-grenades and in one missile, the testing with the Sinjay Virus has remained unsuccessful

We have them stockpiled, but we prefer to use nukes and other weapons of the nuclear-explodey variety. That is not to say however that we don't use bioweapons

Bioweapons are used extensively against the armies of the USA and Nazi Germany. Tear gas, mustard gas, white phosphorus. We use it all.

Their usage is limited to military forces though.

Plenty of them. I assume my artificially created soldiers would also count.

If we don't like you, you're tasting mustard tonight
Zyklon B available upon request.

We make extensive use of bioweapons, but we normally only use diseases as a last resort. Most of our biological weapons are genetically-engineered organisms, or equipment made from their parts (eg. shell, venom, wood, etc.).

there is nothing left to hide from

Biological weapons are not used by the kovrukan Krigmaskine because they inflict inhuman amounts of pain and suffering. We prefer to be merciful with our enemies and give them swift deaths.

In addition, there is an inherent danger in the developing of bioweapons that is not present on normal ordnance: the possibility of a biological outbreak supposes a risk for our population we cannot even consider. We also prepare to defend from these kinds of attacks, designing strong battlesuits for our crusaders and effective quarantine procedures for our citizens.

We mainly use them as last resorts. There have only been a few instances, although there may be more if we're jerks or our enemy's horrible.
[*]Dead Dog War, when we used the Bubonic Plague on Rleesrikhani
[*]War on ISIS, when Smallpox was used to kill jihadists
[*]Word War X, when we killed millions with Chicken Pox
[*]War on Earthquakes, when many earthquake-ists were (and still are, as we're still in the war) killed by Cancer
[*]Pingas war, when we used Space Rabies to kill everyone in a Black Riders nation
We mostly use Weather Warfare, though.

Bioweapons are banned by the constitution.

The Jeltronian bioweapons program is currently for defensive purposes only, although the Government has granted some leeway in the research and development of non-lethal biological agents.

The Dushan Armed Forces have running some Biological Weapon Programs. Both offensive and defensive.

In the recent Years most offensive Weapons Programs have been drastically reduced or stopped. It is assumed that radical Factions inside the State still are working on some devices.

Banned for civilians, the armed forces have some but have never yet used them in combat. As well as various diseases, we have a form of AIDS mixed with the common cold and sickle cell that only works on blacks (made in our more racist days before racism was banned) Parasprites that eat flesh, and we are working on somehow weaponizing mental illness.

Byzantine Socialist Republic has been running in the program for biological weapons even before the people's revolution, and it is estimated that there are approximately 50 biological warheads being stored within highly fortified military bases.

Soufia doesn't officially acknowledge the existence of a biological weapons program. However, it is believed by many that it has a clandestine program in place which weaponises naturally occurring strains of diseases and viruses such as anthrax. An outbreak of anthrax in 2015 is believed by some to be a clandestine test against civilians.

Banned by the government. There are rumors though that the republic had some weapons during the Cold War (confirmed) or even as recently as 2014.

Extensive usage of bioweapons, better and stronger Bubonic Plague strains are being researched into, Anthrax as well. We also inject ebola into criminals, we then send them to a target country for collapsing said country.

While yes, there are lax genetic experiment laws (see: the wilderness), bioweapon containment protocols are very strict. This is because while "anomalies" like alraunes and trolls can be easily contained by the government (see again: the wilderness), you still have to develop a vaccine and yadda yadda yadda for a bioweapon. And by the time it is ready for shipping, the whole country has become a ghost town.

The government only owns a few bioweapons.

Highly Illegal and not used by the Military.

We quite enjoy playing with code and machinery, and for the scientists at our Biological Research Division, that includes the code and machinery that biologicals run on. Needless to say, our military uses the best weaponizable results of this research.

Most of the time, our bioweapons do more than "just" spread disease. Here are some of the delights in our current stockpile:

The Decepticon Loyalty Virus - This genetically-engineered virus infects the brains of those who catch it. Once there, it doesn't just take over cells to reproduce. Instead, its DNA insert causes the infected to produce brain chemicals that cause them to feel extreme loyalty toward us and extreme hostility toward everything else around. The result is that the infected will attack their fellows in the name of the Decepticons, and, if they come in contact with any of us, will immediately defect from their side to ours. The effect begins after about a week and lasts until the infected's immune system can throw off the virus and the infected cells - typically another 2-4 weeks. With a well-placed infection, this is more than enough time for entire army bases to be wiped out and/or defect to us.

Rage Virus - It does what you'd expect, but allow enough high-level thinking for the infected to do more than bite each other. Effects last only about 2-3 days, but unlike the Loyalty Virus, this one shows its symptoms within a few hours. Great for causing enemy troops to mow each other down with their guns and for sowing general chaos and fear among their ranks.

Cowardium Pacifistum - This is a relatively new development. It's a bacteria that can withstand the purification methods of municipal water systems. As this implies, it is used on large civilian populations. Once infected, these populations become cowardly namby-pambies who are fully convinced that they will lose the war regardless of how well their militaries are actually doing. They also fully believe that they will suffer the absolute worst fates their minds can conceive of if we have to take over by force. Finally, as the Pacifistum name implies, they end up believing that fighting us off is wrong. Because of all of this, they will forcefully demand that their governments surrender to our forces. The benefit of this bacteria is that once it passes from the infected's systems, it leaves them fully able to serve as our labor slaves. Best of all, it only takes one Foreign Intelligence agent to get a job at the water department and drop a vial's worth of this into the outgoing tank to nail an entire city.

Fast-Spreading Terminal Diseases - We have weaponized several of the old standards, such as smallpox, listeria, and malaria. All of these have been genetically engineered to be 100% deadly to the infected (after enough delay to allow them to spread it a bit) and to be immune to any antibiotics or other medicines that the enemy and its allies are known to have. (Of course, we have genetically engineered our own livestock to be immune.) These germs are to be used if we want to wipe out a large population that has miraculously managed to hide itself from the efforts of our Genocide Battalion. So far, we have never needed to resort to using these germs in order to remove the unwanted pests from an area.

For us, there is one clear benefit to bioweapons, and that's that none of them work on us.

Obsolete. Why mess around with bioweapons that could potentially backfire (or worse, escape when safeguards haven't been implemented yet) when we have LOICs, nuclear-missile carrying satellite, and other such spacebound funtimes?

Bioweapons have been deemed entirely worthless and are never used in warfare. This is mostly since multiversal (read: relevant) civilizations will likely:

- fight mostly in space, where bioweapons are useless
- have ground troops, and likely civilians, that resist (through internal nanites) or are completely immune to (by being non-organic) disease
- destroy infected planets rather than try to recover them
