During the war, two contenders, Alpha and Bravo, must decide whether to build nuclear bombs (BB) or pursue disarmament (PD). Their decisions impact global security and their own standing.
The outcomes are as follows:

If both build bombs, it escalates the arms race, leading to mutual insecurity, with payoffs (−5, −5).
If one builds bombs while the other disarms, the builder gains dominance (3), while the disarmer is left vulnerable (−2).
If both disarm, global security improves, and neither side gains nor loses strategically, resulting in (0,0).
