N00ks are nuclear devices owned by people who probably shouldn't have them for various support, design, or operational reasons and used in ways generally considered 'immature.'

Common example: A brand-new nation, population five million, immediately declares war on the United Nations using a ludicrously large number of nuclear weapons, usually well above a thousand and most often a string of random numerals following a pattern similar to "Elf Only Inn's" Goku66 character's power level (example: 120985701920197).

This will most often result in an IGNORE situation, although sometimes old nations will take the threat seriously and engage in a pacification operation such as Operation Righteous Smackdown. The latter option is riskier, as it could lead to an Allanea-esque situation of a thoroughly outmatched opponent never admitting defeat; however, it can also lead to a Sigma Octavus solution where it vastly improves the new nation involved (assuming that it is not completely glassed over during the Righteous Smackdown). See the Death of Bisons for an example of such.
