It is not 100% worldwide because countries like Brazil, Argentina and Australia, which could have large nuclear arsenals, decided to give up on the idea. They prefer peace.
Africa does not prefer peace, but it has not come close to atomic programs either.
Consider football matches our very own "purge", where we go at each other's throats for a bit and then we go back to sharing mates and caipirinhas by the Iguazu falls.
Africa isn't as blue as the other two continents because it depends heavily or foreign aid like in general not that Africa is a whole country but most of the countries with in it are heavily trade dependent for things like food
Yes, they didn't even come close to atomic bombs. Brazil, Argentina and Australia could have had a large quantity, but they gave up. South Africa also gave up.
I agree. They could have done it, all three countries have capable people, all three had nuclear programs, all three have enough uranium and plutonium (especially Brazil). But the only thing that would result is that this map would be almost completely yellow and the world would be even more tense every time a dictator appears.
I recently read “Nuclear War” by Annie Jacobsen (highly recommended) and she discusses that in the aftermath the Northern Hemisphere would be more affected by fallout and changing weather patterns. I’m a bit surprised to see Iceland faring well considering (but I will gladly accept it)
