Layla Kiesinger, Permanent Representative (General-Plenipotentiary) to the World Congress, Kingdom of Dorvik

The Kingdom would inquire as to why Deltaria has decided not to support the open and transparent recognition of a nuclear power?

[Drax]

Foreign Minister Kazimir Kovac, Republika Deltarska:

We do appreciate the Kingdom's Representative discussing the issues around this resolution. There are two answers to the question:

First, are we being asked to recognize the Kingdom as a nuclear power because it still has nuclear weapons? If so, has it always had them replacing them as they degrade or did it restart making them at some point after stopping for a while?

Or, on the contrary is the recognition of the Kingdom as a nuclear power because it has the capacity to readily make them as it clearly does? If this is the case it is our impression that at least four and possibly several other nations could given adequate leadership return to nucler weapon production. Our intelligence on this may well be on the high side.

Second, for one hundred years much of Terra has believed there were no functioning nuclear weapons on Terra. As, this era ends Republika Deltarska believes the Security Council should be lamenting its passing rather than authorizing its demise.

We are fortunate to have created the TAEO to deal with degradation as it becomes necessary. This is our opinion such as it is.
