| Message | In light of the current world-wide proliferation of Nuclear weaponry, the SSDP reluctantly agrees that sitting outside of the nuclear bloc makes very little sense for Solentia. The Party would be, however, interested in seeing biological and chemical weapons limited to retalitory usage. The truth of biological and chemical weapons is that they are not only slightly more effective then conventional, non-biological, non-chemical, or non-nuclear arms... Where the potential of a nuclear weapon is not in question, biological and chemical weaponry is not effective enough as a tool of warfare to outweigh the cruelty and possible mistakes possible in its use. The SSDP would like to see Article 2 changed to reflect this. Finn Jacob SSDP Chairmain |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
