| Message | The PSP disagrees, and believes that the entire point of such legislation is to take any such measures off the table should any dictatorial or imperialist government come to power. Not only do nuclear weapons carry the threat of mutually assured destruction, but people knowing we are prepared to use them at any time may make us a target for preemptive action as well. We do not believe that this bill is in the best interests of Al'Badara. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
