Not true. Biological, chemical, and nuclear warfare deal with numbers far greater than "individual"... you probably just attempted to annex a nation with a mass-destruction arsenal larger than your entire population.
"Once again, you are not considering the full implications of what you are saying. The use of those weapons, under the definition of murder provided by them, would technically qualify their deployment as mass-murder and, potentially, as genocide. Now, most nations tend to outlaw the former, and I doubt this one is any different, with each individual death as a result of mass-murder typically counting as yet another murder charge the person who commits it must answer for.
For fun, note that the definition of genocide, as provided by resolution number 38, actually make deploying such weapons against us, who are an identifiably unique group of people with a small population in a limited area and who have yet to take a single military action in this matter, genocide. As such, it is automatically illegal for them to do so and, as such, signs them up for a number of problems that are automatically enforced against them.
Secondly, the use of microscopic biological weapons, and even the owning of them except for certain limited purposes, is banned by resolution number 65. As such, they cannot even own those with intent to use them, let alone actually use them.
Note that we have not, at any moment, actually taken a single military action. The entirety of this annexation attempt is being made nonmilitarily, using the World Assembly itself as the forum of annexation, and can be dealt with by the nation to be annexed. It mainly serves to point out to them how their stance on the issue is based upon a badly worded law that can be easily used against them and cause them to lose their nation. As such, since there is no military action involved, they really have no justification for a military reply.
Now, do you have any other challenges?"
