Carolina and weapons of mass destruction

Carolina is one of a handful of nuclear armed states which are defined under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but does not posses any kind of chemical or biological weapons. Carolina began it's nuclear program later than most states, testing it's first bomb in 1965. Carolina reportedly retains around 250 nuclear weapons in a stockpile, making it one of the largest in the world. The nuclear weapons were primarily initiated under President Brooks following the Cuban Missile Crisis. Carolina believed that it would need a nuclear weapons program as both a deterrent and defense against any future Cuban conflict.

Carolina did not sign the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which gave it the option to conduct further nuclear tests until it signed and ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 and 1998 respectively. Carolina denies currently having chemical weapons, ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in 1995, and acceded to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in 1984. Carolina had also ratified the Geneva Protocol in 1926.
