Concerning nuclear bombs, and their development in this game.

In our timeline, it took the United States four years to make a nuclear device. Britain is far from the most powerful nation in the world and so it took eight years for me to make a bomb.

Now that the nuke has been invented, it doesn’t mean everyone has one. I haven’t released the technology. The only people who possess the tech to make nukes are me and Danubia, with America only a year behind. You can make nukes, sure, but you need to take at least  five years. Merge together, create joint projects sure, but it’ll still take you four years or so. You cannot just make a nuke in a single turn, or in two, or in four. You need at least five years.

When I began making nukes, you should have as well, then you wouldn’t be nearly as vulnerable as you are now. The Vietnamese, Spanish and Italian scientists have no idea how to even create a chain reaction, let alone weaponise it.
