kazakhstan is spelled wrong. And I think Syria is presently incapable of having a nuclear weapons program.

Missed Greece... nice quiz. You could add Argentina and Brazil as "Formerly Seeking" if you want to get really tricky.

Very good quiz, just few comment:

- Burma still (even now) lacks proper proofs, that it is only "possibly" formerly seeking?

- is not North Korea technically also non-signatory since its withdrawn (i do not know the terms of the treaty, so you might be right, just question)?

- is not Syria in its current state rather "formerly seeking"?

- maybe you could also mention alleged nuclear sharing between Gulf states, cause Saudi status is unclear (but i do not know about that enough)

What would be really cool is addition of paranuclear states, but i am aware, it is extremely difficult to find reliable data on that. Some of the countries formerly seeking of possible formerly seeking i got because of knowing they are paranuclear.

Anyways very good quiz, which I appreciate.
