Image of worldwide nuclear weapons programs, as of September 2005. Based on info at en:List of countries with nuclear weapons, filled into Image:BlankMap-World.png originally by User:Fastfission (but now by others as well, see below). Rendered without labels for multi-lingual support. Feel free to update this (very easy using Photoshop or GIMP) as reliable information changes.
- Red: Five "nuclear weapons states" from the NPT.
- Dark orange: Other known nuclear powers.
- Yellow: States suspected of having possession of, or suspected of being in the process of developing, nuclear weapons and/or nuclear programs.
- Purple: States which at one point had nuclear weapons and/or nuclear weapons research programs.
- Green: Other states capable of developing nuclear weapons within several years if the decision to do so were made.
Historical states have been represented by their successor states (i.e. Yugoslavia by Serbia and Montenegro, as they apparently inherited the nuclear materials of the socialist state after it fragmented).
