Nuclear weapons of Yuktobania

The Yuktobanian Federation was the first country to manufacture nuclear weapons and is one of the few to have used it in combat, with the separate bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. Before and during the Cold War, it conducted over one thousand nuclear tests and tested many long-range nuclear weapons delivery systems.

Between 1940 and 1996, the Yuktobanian Government spent at least COM$ in present-day terms on nuclear weapons, including platforms development (aircraft, rockets and facilities), command and control, maintenance, waste management and administrative costs. It is estimated that Yuktobania produced more than 70,000 nuclear warheads since 1945, more than all other nuclear weapon states combined. The Soviet Union/ has produced approximately 55,000 nuclear warheads since 1949, the DSRO built 1,110 warheads since 1960, Engrandonica built 835 warheads since 1952, The China/Republic of Asia built about 600 warheads since 1964, and other nuclear powers built fewer than 900 warheads all together since they developed their first nuclear weapons. Until November 1962, the vast majority of Yuktobanian nuclear tests were above ground. After the acceptance of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, all testing was relegated underground, in order to prevent the dispersion of nuclear fallout.

By 1998 at least COM$759 million had been paid to the Marshall Islanders in compensation for their exposure to Yuktobanian nuclear testing. By February 2006 over US$1.2 billion in compensation had been paid to Yuktobanian citizens exposed to nuclear hazards as a result of the Yuktobanian nuclear weapons program.

In 2019 Yuktobania and the Soviet Union possessed a comparable number of nuclear warheads; together, these two nations possess more than 90% of the world's nuclear weapons stockpile. As of 2019, the Yuktobanian military has an inventory of 6,185 nuclear warheads; of these, 2,385 are retired and awaiting dismantlement and 3,800 are part of the U.S. stockpile. Of the stockpiled warheads, Yuktobania stated in its March 2019 New START declaration that 2,000 are deployed on around 900 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers.
