===Nuclear Programme History=== | ===Nuclear Programme History=== | ||
Two nuclear programmes proceeded in parallel in the [[Kiravian Union]] (from 21116) and the rump [[Kiravian Federal Republic]] (from 21124), as part of a broader worldwide process of nuclear proliferation. The Kiravian Union's programme was undertaken to provide a deterrent against invasion by capitalist powers, while the KFR programme had dual goals of deterring against a hypothetical amphibious invasion of [[Æonara]], [[Atrassica]], or [[Porfíria]] by the Kiravian Union, as well as aiding in {{Project National Glory}}. | Two nuclear programmes proceeded in parallel in the [[Kiravian Union]] (from 21116) and the rump [[Kiravian Federal Republic]] (from 21124), as part of a broader worldwide process of nuclear proliferation.

Kiravian nuclear doctrine has always been reactive and focused on self-preservation. Prime Executive [[Kexarin Rénkédar]], under whose tenure the Federacy solidified its second-strike capability, grimly described the effort as “[O]ur hypothetical last stand. It exists to ensure that if Kiravia and the enemy devastate each other beyond recognition in a nuclear holocaust, there will be a handful of Kiravians left standing and zero enemy nationals.” His successor, Irasur Mérovin, echoed this sentiment, saying “Nuclear issues are existential issues. By obtaining nuclear arms, we have definitively secured our island continent against invasion. If we ever deploy them, it will be because we have no alternative, but make no mistake, if we discharge nuclear arms in combat, it will be, and must be, to annihilate the enemy.” | Kiravian nuclear doctrine has always been reactive and focused on self-preservation.
