===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 {{wp|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. 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 KFR-held [[Æonara]], [[Atrassica]], or [[Porfíria]] by the Kiravian Union, as well as aiding in {{wp|Project National Glory}}. Given these priorities, both programmes focused on the development of strategic weapons, though the KFR worked with [foreign country] to amass a small arsenal of {{wp|tactical nuclear weapons}} for the purpose of defending Kiravian [[Cusinaut]] from aggression by surrounding native Cronite states.
 
Both governments conducted most of their nuclear tests at sea, though the Kiravian Union had surface test sites in the Miradèt Desert and extreme northern [[Koskenkorva]]. The KFR used underground facilities in the mountains of [[Umcara|Umcara State]] and the Saxalin Islands for much of its research and at least five final-stage tests.
