Policy grids compress billions of people into equal squares — the shock is in the share, not the cell. This grid divides global nuclear arsenal (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — France + United Kingdom, Asia & Pacific, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
1 cell = 12 estimated warheads (0.1% of global nuclear arsenal) · 1,000 cells
