The advent of these weapons, of unparelled destructive potential, has massive implications for the future of warfare, diplomacy, and of geopolitics itself. Never again will continent-spanning wars bring the world to its knees. Wars against and between nuclear-armed states will become unthinkable as nations create warheads with ever increasing yields. But it also marks a dangerous new era, one where nuclear-armed states could become completely untouchable.
Nations such as nuclear-armed Songjiang openly defy the APSIA Security Council as it languishes beneath the politicking of other nations. The durability of APSIA itself will be tested in the coming years, as nations around the world rush to acquire nuclear weapons. The world holds its breath, and many hope that their faith in APSIA, and the institutions it props up, is not misplaced.
Already established companies strive to push their hardware beyond their peers. With every release of products, processors become exponentially smaller, while processing power becomes exponentially stronger. Some say it is only a matter of time before the processing power of a PC can be held in the palm of a customer's hand. A look behind the curtain on the drawing boards of many companies show that these dreams are being seriously considered.
