The ministry of defence of Neustern has announced that the autonomous coastal city state has developed a viable nuclear bomb. The Supreme Controller (head of state and government) made the announcement at a public meeting in downtown Neustern. International journalists and foreign diplomats as well as representatives from the U.N, E.U and International Atomic Agency were in attendance. Condemnation from foreign governments and international bodies will be ignored by Neustern’s authorities. Under the constitution of Neustern all defensive issues are an internal matter. Neustern is not a member of the United Nations, European Union or International Monetary Fund and maintains that it is not bound by their treaties and declarations.
Gary Farrelly, Neustern.

The modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million metric tons) of TNT. Neustern is a peaceful nation that plays a constructive role in international affairs. We do not have nor do we intend to procure the capability to launch this destructive force on to the territory of any other country. Even in a period of war, Neustern will defend herself against aggression using the conventional force at our disposal. Our nuclear bomb is to be housed under our great city state. If we are invaded and our sovereignty is irreversibly extinguished - we shall detonate the device. Neusterners would rather see their sacred soil scattered to the four winds than occupied by an external power.
The Supreme Controller, Neustern.

All roads lead to Neustern is an exhibition of new cartographic and architectural artwork by Gary Farrelly. It is being curated by Donna Marie O'Donovan and will be held in Dublin in November. CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION.
