I have something to say on this topic.
Firstly, we cannot just say, ban nuclear development. It would be wrong and false to do so any more than to say ban missile development, ban jet engines, ban radar.

We know Manhattan cost alot (heck all those scientists, security arrangements, new towns, new testing sites, more security, more equipment, unlimited access to getting what they want costs a lot of dosh).

If Japan thinks India was removed by trickery then it proves communuications between member is very poor (I can't believe the matter has not been disscussed in the Satsuma room long before now).

As a nonplayer i have been following this thread. In OTL Sweden had a program for nuclearweapons, it was started in the late forties and followed up to the late sixties. It met a lot of oppositions in the fifties.
In about 1968 Sweden could have made a nuclear test. Thats why we have the great missile testfield in the northern part of Sweden. My point is that for a small but hightech nation it takes about 20 years to do it on their own without technical input from other nations. And during these times Sweden also had to support a large conventional military program. Also i think Israels nuclear program took about 20 years. Also India about 20 years. So i think without a major war Wesworld would be nuclear ready in the early fifties for the major nations, and late fifties or the early sixties for the smaller ones. Maybe longer if they dont have ready acess to uranium. Sweden has their own uranium.
This is my 2 cents.
