My theory on the development of peaceful nuclear technologies (i.e. nuclear power plants) has always generally been allowing countries to do so as long as its realistic (i.e. pairing up with a nation that has them already, having a historical background in nuclear power generation, contracting with a known nuclear power corporation to develop them (this is tied with number 1/2), etc.)

If we start seriously looking at whether we have stuff beyond ones that have been and are controlled, we could say what we are putting on market (if withhold then holding back economy) and what on market could be available to everyone. We could still have exclusive deals to insure supply.
I fully agree with both statements. This index can create interesting RP to further push for international trade, diplomacy and creating unique nations with unique economies that differ from eachother. We need some rules and limits to not make a gazillion China's.

I would happy trade Uranium for these ones we are not listed as having. Kalistan has never explored for Uranium deposits, and wouldn't develop it if we had it.
We even did RPs on exploration, discovery and exploitation. Kalistan has has KALNAFERCO for centuries, not with imported iron and coal but with iron and coal from in country. We had a steel war with Indrala a few hundred years ago. And we have been listed as having Uranium, but Kalistan has never explored for uranium, nor would we ever exploited it if we do.
If you were going to make a list, why do it with a random generator? Why not rely on RP the way you do with military equipment? I remember you getting after me saying I couldn't do something because it didn't respect the RP effort you, primarily, but others as well put into developing those weapons. Alright. So I built something else. Because you squashed that. So, I'd like the same theory built into this list. Those who do not have significant RP about minerals can get the RNG. Those who DO have significant RP with development and exploitation of resources should have their RP efforts acknowledged.
I think everyone is in favour of having some of their RP respected and making adjustments to the list, we can surely swap some here and there, downgrade some to tier II or tier I to still make the nation as having had the deposits but having dwindeld over time or just acknowledging the resources mentioned. But this cant mean we cant retcon a few things, that is just inevitable. Secondly we cannot nuke this very good proposal just because of some old RP. This prevents ridiculous claims and can make world economy RP and unique economy RP's more common.
