I would like some ideas on how to make players able to fight it out without them holding back on the premise of "if we start to win too much they will nuke us and its game over".

The idea could be something along the lines of real life... there were plenty of conflicts where nukes weren't used but certain nations still engaged in warfare. The idea might be to obtain the alliance of one of the nuke-carrying nations so you can battle with approval of one of the nuclear club. The alliance can be made public, so if someone uses nukes on that nation, the allied nation uses their nukes on them.

If 2 nuke nations are at war, it must be assumed that if nukes are launched to obliterate that one nation, an automatic return volley will be sent and that will wipe out the nuking power as well.

Well at the time there was alot of guerilla warfare going on in afew countries between the USA/USSR sponsered states and rebels/freedomfighters. Maybe I could have it so that if the sides dont help their side win the civil wars they could lose main resources with consequences. For example if Venesuala becomes communist, Nato loses an oil supply and take longer to mobilise for war.

I think I will implement one or two mercenary nations like somolia that if supplied and armed by, lets say, Russia, they will raid nato's shipping and make transportation around the indian ocean area allmost imposisible and the only way to stop it is to invade.

Lighten up, you wanted to be a pain in the arse so I gave you the pirate faction.

If I was the U.S.S.R I would launch the nukes.....(I was always the first one to do it in DEFCON:everybody loses....)

I would always win......what's left...

Hmm, another one off the "likely to be responsible with nukes list". Still, there's about 200 other countries to play if your interested.
