You have been forced to nuke a country.

[GundamSentinel]

Probably Andorra, San Marino or Liechtenstein. Whichever one is smallest. I wouldn't miss it, little damage and small chance of reprisal. I would've said Vatican City (couldn't care less about Catholics), but I love Rome too much and the collection of art in the Vatican museum is amazing.

Or now that I think about, why not the USA? I mean, they let the UK test their weapons on their soil, so why not me? Or I could drop it on an empty stretch of tundra in Russia or Canada, or somewhere in the Sahara. Nah, I really wouldn't mind nuking a country if I could decide where it was dropped.

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Now then, OT: If I was really forced to I would nuke Antarctica. Because it pretty big and no people live there, to my knowledge...sorry Polar Bears.

EDIT: So much hate towards other countries in this thread, very dissapointing. :/

what do expect given the question asked ? its not supposed to be an easy call. people are gonna make a judgement.

and as for you're solution to not making such a call in doing so the polar ice caps would likely melt and you'd raise the sea levels by 200 feet world wide wiping out virtually every city on the edge of water everywhere (of which there are a lot) not to mention you'd have a good chance of irradiating the oceans and destroying the food chain.

Ok chill buddy Your right, but still, it's not nice to read y'know.

I didn't think this through...

 

[thespanner]

Heh, nobody ever says Italy.

 

[snagli]

Some really small country filled with useless people, like Andorra or Liechtenstein. Otherwise, Belgium, Germany or Vatican City.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Easiest 0 to Hero journey ever! I'd send out a warning on the proper channels so that no 'innocents' get hurt and then promptly nuke Tehran, Iran or hit any part of North Korea thats not within spitting distance of the SK border

 

[Kadoodle]

North Korea. Of all the fucked up dictatorships, North Korea has got to top the list. Just wipe it off the map.

Israel for sure, solve the Middle East crisis

You've never even been to Israel. Stop talking, go there, stay for a week or two, and then see if you actually want that place nuked. (I don't think you will, once you realize that it's filled to the brim with normal people who want nothing other than peace. I've been there. I can personally vouch for that.)

Israel isn't the problem. Israel isn't the country filled with backwards religious nutcases. Israel isn't the place where the insurgents live. Israel is, if anything, the "good guy" in the middle east conflicts. A misunderstood "good guy," who the media tries to paint as the problem. They have every right to their small plot of land.

You may try to tell me that they stole it from the Palestinians. Bullshit. British had control of Palestine. Then the British gave it to the Palestinians and Jews (who, by the way, needed it a lot more for a number of reasons) to share. Keyword being share. And you know what happened? The Palestinians were a bunch of backstabbing fucks who tried to take full control, going as far as enlisting the surrounding Arab countries to bomb and eradicate Jewish settlements. And when the Israelis won the 6-day war against all odds, I they had the right to say: "Nice try assholes, we're not gonna share if you're gonna try to kill us."

And then, decades later, Israel was kind enough to give back the Gaza strip, and now the fuckholes in Gaza are sending missiles every day into Israeli towns, killing innocent civilians. Of course the media never tells us about that. They only focus on the Israeli "war crimes." Such as bombing schools. What they won't tell you is that the schools are human shields for the insurgents. All those children inside are the tools of Hamas. The insurgents know what they are doing. And Israel does what it must to protect it's people. And the whole world hates them for it. Believe me, they want peace. The Palestinians don't. It's as simple as that.

The other thing is that other countries (most notably America) do this shit on a daily basis. When America does it, the media barely even blinks an eye. Every fucking day, it happens. And the truth of the matter is that the Israelis easily have one of the best trained and most technologically advanced militaries in the world. They aren't clumsy. They rarely make mistakes. They only mean to protect their country.

 

[tycho0042]

America or China, not sure which. but it should solve some population problems at least

 

[Sordak]

India, I suppose.

China? why would anyone not nuke the land of everythign thats wrong with the world!

Cause they're sitting upon all the resources were gradually running out of.

no they are not more to the point they are wasting those we still have.

 

[Comrade_Beric]

The Vatican. Very few people and every last one of them are expendable, imo.

 

[Yosato]

The Vatican City? Isn't it technically a country? I might go to hell but I'm sure God would understand that I picked it due to its small size and population in comparison to others.

 

[Rutskarn]

A country that is incredibly well prepared for the possibility of nuclear attack. Fallout shelters, food reserves, evac plans, that sort of thing.

Problem is the only country I can think of with that level of preparedness is north Korea. They'd almost certainly retaliate. Surely there must be another country who have prepared for nukes? Right?

Switzerland's pretty much rarin' to go.

Switzerland built an extensive network of fallout shelters, not only through extra hardening of government buildings such as schools, but also through a building regulation that ensured that all residential building built after 1968 contained a nuclear shelter able to withstand a blast from a 50 megaton explosion at a distance of 700 metres. Coupled with this, there was the legal requirement for all supermarkets to store at least one year's supply of canned goods, etc., in blast-proof bunkers in the mountains, along with the requirement of one year's supply of oil; cilivians were required to store at least three weeks of food stuffs in their own shelter. This nation has the highest ratio of shelter space to national population of any country. All these shelters are capable of withstanding nuclear fallout and biological or chemical (NBC) attacks. The largest buildings usually have dedicated shelters tunneled into solid rock. Similar projects have been undertaken in Finland, which requires all buildings with area over 600 m² to have an NBC shelter, and Norway, which requires all buildings with an area over 1000 m² to have a shelter.

 

[uptofortissimo]

I'll do you one better and blow up all of Africa.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

Well, since the OP says "destroy" rather than just being able to fire a nuke at say the middle of a desert I'd go for the smallest: Nauru, an 8.5 square mile island with 13,000 inhabitants.

 

[Banana Cannon]

Concider this:
if you picked a nation with embassies all over the world then most capitol cities all over the world would get nuked as well as that where you will find land that belongs to the nation you just picked!


any way does this give you any ideas?

Oh, I know they'll try to retalitate and doom the rest of human progress - nay, human existence - just because if they can't have it and ruin it, nobody can have it at all! Which is why I think you need to disarm this group of warmongerers BEFORE ironically destroying them with a weapon they shouldn't have encouraged all other major nations to make out of deterrence. Its not like I'm being completely irrational, if America discovered Ireland had vast deposits of gold or oil buried a couple hundred feet under the entirety of Dublin City, they'd do anything to get their hands on it if they thought they could get something out of it, including massacre, instigating civil war, cowing our politicians into appeasing the demands, or downright bombardment and invasion. I have little faith that there is a good nature to be had in the leaders of the USA and the financial vultures that pull their strings.

 

[WaderiAAA]

I'd go with the smallest country, until I remembered that it is the vatican, so it would stir up a ton of trouble.

Well, I'd probably go with Samoa or something.

If you've never heard Samoa, then that is exactly why. One moment you don't know that it exists, the next moment it actually doesn't.

EDIT: After doing some research, it seems Samoa is almost two hundred thousand inhabitants while according to wikipedia there is in fact a country named Pitcairn Islands with just 60 inhabitants (divided on the four families of Christian, Warren, Young and Brown), so I'd go with that one.

 

[kannibus]

A few come to mind but they'd get pissy if I named them, so I'll just say Atlantis.

 

[TheHappySquid]

America. Not for any vindictive reason, I just think that they're the best equipped to deal with such a situation. This is provided retaliation isn't part of the equation, otherwise here comes WWIII

 

[Jedoro]

I'll take the Rorschach route and let the world end. I refuse to have innocent blood on my hands, even if it means someone else kills many more. I won't let the sick bastard who gave me the choice, feel the satisfaction of watching me kill people who have done nothing wrong. And hey, no one will be alive to ***** at me for it, either.

 

[Gustavos]

The ozone layer. Hell yeah.

 

[NightHawk21]

One of the small African nations.
