I found this map pretty interesting and informative.
The Nuclear Club - Who Has What? Interactive Map (http://www.sky.com/skynews/fixed_article/0,,91165-1212384,00.html)
Since the United States dropped the first atomic bombs in 1945, there have been endless attempts at holding back nuclear proliferation.
But as our map shows, trying to limit the spread of weapons is something of a hollow achievement.
There are just five official countries who have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but a number of non-signatories who either have nuclear weapons or are suspected of having them.
We highlight the haves, the have-nots, the wanna-haves, the might-haves and the used-to-haves in the nuclear club.
I had no idea so many places used to have nuclear capabilities.
