2013 Nuclear Sanctions Crisis

The Nuclear Sanctions Crisis began in late December after Queensland accused the Riyadh Islamic Federation of producing Nuclear Weapons and Testing them. The situation quickly gained International Attention with Cattala and Atlantsia immediately supporting Queensland without any counter evidence from the Federation.

Accusation
On December 28th, 2012 without warning Queensland reported major Seismic activity in central RIF. TV networks across Riyadh were suddenly interrupted to broadcast the announcement. Sheikh Nashid who was away in Qatar on vacation was immediately flown back to Riyadh. The accusations sparked outrage throughout the nation and an immediate hatred of Queensland.

Reaction
The world's reaction was mixed. Hiigara, Riyadh's only major ally immediately called the accusations a scam to collapse the RIF's government, and refused to support the sanctions even if they were passed. Costa Palma, Riyadh's much smaller ally announced its disbelief of Riyadh's possession of WMD, although it showed no indication of supporting its ally in the event of an armed conflict. Nations supporting the sanctions slammed Hiigara for standing by Riyadh despite overwhelming evidence from Queensland. Shihaisha, one of Riyadh's trading partners did believe it was making nuclear weapons but did not support sanctions against the nation. For almost a week Hiigara argued with supporting nations over why or why not the sanctions should be passed with no input from the RIF.
