The weapon must detonate to be included.

Update 2025-06-15 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): A use is considered offensive if the detonation occurs outside the recognized borders of the country using the weapon.
@skibidist apologies for not figuring that out sooner. Lacking any great suggestions, I'm going with: outside the recognized borders of the country using it, and not a test.
How is this list exhaustive?
<edit> I'm dumb, did not see the "other countries" option
The intent here is that this list is exhaustive; if there is an offensive nuclear detonation, at least one of the categories can resolve positively. That is: "country" and "non-state actor" include all possible actors; between that and "unattributed", something can resolve positively.
Did I miss anything there? Any edge cases worth worrying about?
