Instructions
The war between Anarchy and Cabal has now ended. While neither side won, both have agreed to peaceful relations. The State of Boring decided to stay out of the military fighting, but had sent resources (food, medical supplies, ammunition, etc.) to Cabal in support of its defense.
During the rebuilding of Cabal, the government decided that, in order to maintain the peace and prevent further attacks by its neighbors, it would build a nuclear arms program and begin stockpiling nuclear weapons. While Cabal has no immediate intention to ever use the weapons against its neighboring countries, it does plan to begin testing them on surrounding islands without any residents, as well as in the ocean. As a new member state to the United Nations, it is not a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. However, Anarchy and Boring have both signed the treaty.
