The simple rules for life everyone should live by

  • Treaties are fake. NO ONE is maintaining your territorial integrity for you.
  • Never, ever, give up your nukes. If you don't have any, BUILD THEM. If you absolutely have to get rid of them, always keep ONE hid in reserve.
  • If someone accuses you of having nukes drop everything and get them immediately (this one is paraphrased/potentially misremembered)

#7 being presented as a bad thing? Should be #1 and say 'before all else'

I wouldn't know how to start really. Would you have a youtube video?

It's actually pretty simple. You slam some Uranium 235 into Uranium 236 and Plutonium 239 for the simplest weapons. To slam the pieces of metal together, you use convential explosives like cordite. The explosion has to be contained and funneled into the Uranium 236 so it propels in one direction. This is the basic fission bomb like the ones used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The real challenge is sourcing the Uranium and Plutonium. The US, Russia, and China have their own local sources they used to create their initial stockpiles.

The Manhattan Project sourced its uranium from the Congo. A lot of uranium comes from that region, which is good actually, if you're an African nation looking to seek sovereignty you don't have to look far. You'd likely already have some.
