Nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons have made their way into Cyber Nations.

Cost
Nuclear weapons are quite expensive at $200,000 and with each active nuclear weapon in your posession the price of nukes increases by 10%. (Call this the law of supply and demand). In addition to the initial cost, nuclear weapons also cost up to $500 a day to maintain.

Requirements
Nations require a tech level of 10 or greater and an infrastructure level of 100 or greater in order to begin purchasing nuclear weapons. A nation must also be ranked in the top 5% of all nations. A player can only purchase 1 nuclear weapon per day.

Deployment
Nuclear weapons are extremely devastating to nations being attacked by them. Nuclear weapons completely reduce the number of defending soldiers for a defending nation to zero, cause great amounts of land and infrastructure losses (35% each up to a maximum of 50), and also cause population happiness to plummet for a period of 5 days after a nuclear attack. For these reasons and because they are so expensive they serve as more of a war deterrent than anything else.

History
Throughout the history of the Cyberverse, nukes have mainly been used by rogues and against rogues. Cybernations Quarterly Issue 4 looked at this issue.

On May 17th, Rysonia suffered a nuclear attack from ex-LUEser iforget2. The nation was in turn nuked by Legion member Yenisey
