The Weapons and Equipment of the Polar Nation (WIP)
Car Bombs
The Polar Nation has become known for car bombs after the Jakarta attacks. The Polar Nation has encouraged this reputation for bombing cars, maybe because the stereotype is that terrorist groups rather than hate groups bomb cars. Although the Polar Nation is both, honestly.
Guns
The AK-47 is favored. This is not because it can be dropped in a bog and keep on shooting, but because it was invented by a Russian. The Polar Nation knows that the Kalashnikov is outdated, but there is a certain charisma about that weapon which makes the Polar Nation keep using it.
Kovalov Operations is rumored to supply AK-47s to the Polar Nation.
Disguised Explosives
Blowing stuff up is a useful way to solve most problems. However, the local authorities in many places won't allow people to bring explosives into public areas! Solution? Disguise the explosives, whether as ornamental buttons, paint cans, or purses, depending on the strength of the explosive.
Ice-Nine
Ice-Nine is a substance allegedly invented by Chinese scientists in the nineties to mimic the Ice-Nine described in Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. It is a polymorph of ice that melts at 150 degrees Fahrenheit instead of 32 degrees Fahrenheit like regular ice. If Ice-Nine comes into contact with water, it turns it into Ice-Nine, freezing the water, so Ice-Nine has the potential to freeze the oceans, the water vapor in the atmosphere, and the water in the human body.
It is rumored that the Polar Nation has a supply of Ice-Nine. As the Ice-Nine is associated with the tropical nation of San Lorenzo in Cat's Cradle, it is doubtful if they will release it, but it would cause the apocalypse if they did, or even if they threatened the world with it.
