It's tough for all-out nuclear warfare when half of the game's upper nations are camped out in hippie mode. It's either that, or Planet Bob suffers from a premature detonation problem.

Even saying half you've overestimated it, Boris. There are only 23 nations in all of Bob that are in anarchy and over 70k NS. Assuming that any nation over 70k is going to have an MP and nukes, this means that there are only 23 nations on Bob over 70k that have been at war for over a day. Far more than half of their upper tiers, almost all of them are in peace mode! Now, this of course does not count those who started up there and were nuked down, but still. Only 23 in all the alliances and nations fighting?
And, before someone says anything, this is not meant to disparage anyone's choice of strategy/tactics. I understand that keeping a sizable force back for the time after nuclear Armageddon is probably the best option available at this point for quite a few of the alliances out there. It is simply a note that there is almost nobody left in the upper tiers who is in war mode and currently fighting.
