Faneria is suspected to have a total launch-capable arsenal of between 43 and 60 megatons of nuclear warheads, with an estimated total count of 550-600 strategic warheads and up to fifty tactical warheads. Internal doctrine is believed to carry a policy of deterrence only, but the government of Faneria has not acknowledged any possession of nuclear weapons. The country does operate a civilian nuclear power program.
Far larger are stocks of chemical weapons; while biological and radiological weaponry does not appear to be stored in a significant quantity, Faneria has confirmed its stockpiling of 'wartime reserves' of chemical weaponry. The primary agents believed to be stored include large quantities of chlorine and phosgene gas created as byproducts of the country's large chemical industry. Faneria's government has explicitly stated that in the event of war it is willing to use chlorine gas as a 'delaying agent' to funnel and disadvantage opposing forces, while more lethal phosgene gas has not been commented on.
The National Army maintains a system of missile defense and firing sites throughout the country. In addition, a portion of its suspected WMDs are capable of being fired from mobile land and sea systems. Defense strategies indicate Faneria relies on a duo of long and short-range missile defense, preferring early and late-stage interception systems over medium-range ones. It is likely this is due to both the cost of maintaining extra lines of native parts production and the nature of Faneria as a primarily regional power with tangential overseas interests.
