| Message | If we are to prevent other nations from using such weapons, we must have them ourself. That way use by any nation would constitue an "armaggedon" situation in which all nations would be destroyed. Our having nuclear weapons will bring up the plan created by Duglas McArthur in which given enough nukes, no nation would be inn their best intrest to nuke another. Thus we must at least pose the ability to respond to a nuclear war to balance our side of this equation. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
