List of countries with nuclear weapons (Kylaris)
The following page lists countries with nuclear capabilities in the world. According to the Community of Nations-enforced Treaty of Shanbally, the world is to aim for nuclear disarmament. This goal has never been achieved, but the treaty also regulates the possession of nuclear weapons, mandating that seven states—the Asterian Federative Republic, Chistovodia, Estmere, Soravia, Senria, Valduvia, and Werania—can legally maintain nuclear arsenals. Alongside these, there are a number of illegal nuclear weapon states, and a number of nuclear sharing agreements.

Nuclear sharing agreements
Euclean Common Defense Treaty Organization Nuclear Umbrella
As part of the comprehensive defense agreement that forms a key pillar of the Euclean Common Defense Treaty Organization, the nuclear states of Estmere and Werania effectively agree to shield the rest of the organisation with their own nuclear programs, effectively forming the ECDTO nuclear umbrella. This has seen some criticism in Estmere and Werania, as, effectively, their taxpayers pay for the protection of the entire community. Suggestions have been made for a joint-ECDTO nuclear program, but these have not reached fruition.
Criticism
The current system of CoN-mandated states has been criticized by some. Arguments have been made that the current system of mandated states overlooks the global south, and that it reinforces Euclean domination of world affairs. The CoN maintains that the end goal of the Treaty of Shanbally is complete nuclear non-proliferation.
