what do nuclear weapons get you when literally everything else in the country is contingent on imperial aid? they can nuke somewhere and become even bigger pariahs, what would that actually accomplish?
It’ll suck if no one trades with you, and you’ll run high risks of shortages/famines, but having enough nukes to obliterate the first person who tries to invade you is deterrent enough for independence.
I think a lot of this hinges on the hope that westoids collectively still believe in biblical prophecies.
