the UCAS, but others' reaction might be interesting) doing about this?
My personal opinion is that they're not so much concerned about another
corporation getting nuclear weapons (the corporations don't usually
openly fight governments: bad for business) as they would worry about
the consequences of the fighting that might follow: especially since the
Court has decided to strip Maxim of its nuclear capability.
I can see the UCAS government offering Maxim a polite but firm ultimatum
to remove all nuclear weapons from any Maxim facilities located within
UCAS territories, on pain of... well, pain. Would that be appropriate?
Otherwise, there may well be collateral damage to the UCAS from attacks
on Maxim facilities, and resolving responsibility for them could be
expected to take some time as the corporations pass the buck: politically
rather damaging. Opinions sought.
