The Resolution for the Control of Nuclear Arms is a nuclear arms treaty initially signed by the Vierz Empire and Legatia in order to stop the proliferation of nuclear arms. The treaty was soon expanded to include Vonzumier, then the only other nuclear state. The treaty was then further expanded to gradually include the majority of the world's nations, though a notable few rejected the treaty or ignored its terms. In 1989, the treaty notably allowed Aemperya, then the fourth official nuclear-armed state, to accede to the treaty as an official nuclear-armed nation.
The treaty has now been signed by nearly every country in the world, with the notable exceptions of Bhasar, Zaihan, and Hevatia. Bhasar is nuclear-armed and refuses to sign the treaty without recognition within the treaty's terms as a nuclear-armed state; Zaihan has rejected the treaty as part of its policy of official nuclear ambiguity; and Hevatia is believed to be pursuing nuclear technology. Additionally, Luepola's status is disputed - Luepola's recent nuclear weapons program is widely considered in contravention of the treaty's terms, but the Luepolan government asserts that, due to the treaty being signed by the State of Luepola, that the treaty was signed under duress and is considered not applicable to Luepola's current government.
