Sure.

OOC question, is anyone in the WA

I guess the question is: can WMD be used responsably?
After all, some of the things we need to destroy are kind of immune to conventional weaponry...

And by "some of the things" you mean us?

In the galactic rp most weapons are not conventional

I think we (almost) all aren´t.

1. Some are puppets or combi-nations from nations in other regions.
2. Some are puppets or combi-nations of others in this region.
3. There is a considerable body of opinion that WA only serves raiding and defending - and we want no part of that here.

Does that answer your question?

Don’t point fingers. Come on we can’t have a war that may have WMDs while we’re solving an isssue with WMDs

Yes that does

Completely agree.

Yes we do and we hereby state, unequivocally, that we will use nuclear force and worse against you, in any dimension we find you in, ban or not, enforcement or not.

Weren´t you the ones - according to our archives - who created the Tentaculata in the first place?
So you went from
"Make Your Own Hunting Trophies Day"
to
"What Did We Do Where Are The Nukes Day"
??????????????????

Maybe next time, consult the cautionary tale of Doctor Frankenstein before you start tinkering with life and the universes?

According to our ancient religious texts, you guys managed to create not just life, but godhood. That god then locked you out of the universal dimension, and locked himself in with you: Aztrael.

Not so much "make your own hunting trophies day" or "where are the nukes day", is it?
More like "set off a bomb that blasts through time and space day"!

Questions:

We now learn that several nations here were created, or have evolved, as WMD by other nations. That the potential for mass destruction is part of their essence.

1. If these nations redeem themseves by not wreaking mass destruction, are they still WMD, or is their very potential to act as such reason enough to regard them as such?
2. If not acting as WMD is redeeming, and in no way limiting the freedom of individuals from these nations to travel or trade, why should such restrictions be placed on inanimate WMDs?
3. If these nations have evolved, would genetic engineering to make them less destructive, be genocidal on the part of the engineers?
4. If the WMD has created entire dimensions, can the WMD be removed without ripping underlying dimensions from beneath the time and space in which we live?
5. In other words, can the discouragement of WMD be, either on a national scal or on a galactic scale, be the equivalent of the worst Weapon of Mass Destruction of them all?
6. Are we sure that the reality in which we live can be separated from Aztrael, or are we merely the byproduct of a WMD?

This is giving me a sorting hat idea.

If everyone could please form groups of nations of the same species and / or star system proximity and / or planetary proximity and /or contemporaneity?

Extradimensional

0.0.0 Aztrael
0.1.0 Graviscytes

1.0.0 Earth - humans
1.0.1 Please insert first human nation on Earth here

1.1.0 Galaxy-building and world-building starship federations
1.1.1 Douleia
1.1.1a anything created by Douleia
1.1.2 Brontopteryx
1.1.2a anything created by Brontopteryx

1.2.0 Please insert planet/ starship federation with derived humanoid species here
1.2.1 Please insert name of humanoid nation of that species here

2.0.0 Home planet of the Slugs

Do we need a future Earth as well as a future-future Earth? And if so, do we need a future-future Galaxy too?

Superb idea, Deep Dark Dust Dimensions!

Just one recommandation: sorting things out is much easier with a combination of letters and figures.

So

ED.0.0.0 Aztrael
ED.1.0.0 Graviscytes

Multidimensional

MD.3.0.0 Deep Dark Dust Dimensions
MD.4.0.0 Metaphanea

Earth Near Future

ENF.5.0.0 Humans

Earth Distant Future

EDF.5.0.0. Humans
EDF.5.1.1 Douleia
EDF.[ x ].1.1a created by Douleia
EDF.5.1.2 Brontopteryx
EDF.[ x ].1.2a created by Douleia

----------------------

This way, every nation of the same species has the same first figure, the same subspecies (per planet) or federation (when applicable) gets the same second figure, and everybody gets a unique last figure. And the first two or three letters indicate the possibility/proximity of interaction?

I think that neither of us is a transhumanist nation, Brontopteryx.
So following your sorting method, our numbers should be
EDF.5.0.1 and EDF.5.0.2

Where EDF signals the origin, not the actual location, of the nations?

Would any whale-like species herein be classified as derived from Aztrael?

Nice sorting system. Because I’m not the smartest human being what would be Korghveghnjghettes classification.

Important information for classifying me.

Our country is 2 races that are humanoids and we are derived from douleia.

BUT:

How did we create you?
And why?
Were you an early planet creation experiment we did, maybe?

I thought you were either in the Galaxy - humanoid species naturally developed in response to the planet´s ecosystem perhaps- or in one of DDDD´s many dimensions all by yourself?

(Of course, you can always change where you want to reside, while we try to systemically sort 300+ nations.)

You may have got that wrong.
Following Brontopteryx´s system, a subspecies would have a variation in the second figure.

EDF.5.1a.1 and EDF.5.1b.1 (as they are both in the same nation, the third figure would be the same, I guess?)

Although we were a failed experiment we were able to thrive on the small islands on the desolate world you placed us on overtime we were introduced to humans which dominated our population but the old species now lives on a similar desolate water world colony.

We were more or less used as trash cans. Kinda sad

Don´t overthink it!
As long as it helps to identify who is related to whom, and how close they are to one another, we have a good system.

I would suggest EDF.5.1.1a+b for Korghveghnjghette, as it puts both subspecies under the same figure, and shows its derivation from Douleia.

And if it later wishes to have been derived from someone else, we can adjust the figure quite easily.
