weapons and a 1 if it has nuclear weapons
-year: this is pretty obvious. .

The current coding I have is:

gen nukecount=0
replace nukecount=(nukecount[_n-1]+1) if ((ccode==ccode[_n-1]) &
(nukes==1) & (nukes[_n-1]==1))


How about

bys ccode: gen nukecount = (sum(nukes) > 0)

This does not deal with countries that have gone from nuclear to non-nuclear.
