Why the Korosians are made of Titanium.

And we could always just send some good old anthrax at a larger scale.

Why would robots have anthrax? Do they sprinkle it on their battery biscuits so that meat puppets don't steal them or something?

No, not really. Normal EMP lasts so briefly that the current is unable to flow through the human body and begin harming them. If it were sustained it could do some damage, but it's much better at frying tech, I would assume due to better conductivity? Not sure.

Normal EMP has little effect on electronics. You need a powerful pulse to have a lasting effect, and a powerful pulse would be something like a lightning bolt or nuclear explosion. Notice how both of these are something that would kill you.

Avoidable dick measuring, memes, and borderline race wars... Division of IC and OOC doesn't seem to exist here. Personally I'd say avoid it if you aren't invested already.

To confirm, I'm all set? I'm about to make my first post.
I use my NationStates stats, because a population of billions/trillions and an economy of hundreds of trillions is totally viable, trust me.
But seriously, aside from the population and GDP, just assume that my NS stats are roughly accurate.

Support: Paleo-imperialism, conservatism, libertarianism, Christianity.
Against: Stupid people, resistance to industrial progress, alt-right, any form of government at or beyond socialism.

The explosion itself kills the meatbags - but I believe that the resulting EMP doesn't generally harm biological life, and in the 30-something-ith century I believe we would be able to replicate that without the whole nuclear explosion bit.
