| Message | If all have equal access to NBC weapons; who will be the first to use them, knowing the price will be massive retaliation in kind. OCC: the only real world use of nuclear weapons occurred because the victim had none to retaliate with, not that I'm saying it was the wrong choice but only that if Japan had similar arms, the US might have rethought its position.. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
