USA: These figures are only approximations but are accurate within the 100
SU/Russia: These figures do not include missiles in reserve or in the dismantlement queue.
UK/FRA:
These figures are accurate to within tens of warheads.
CH:
These are only accurate to within 50% at most, due to uncertainty.
In addition to these Israel, India and Pakistan had and still have nuclear arsenals even if very minimal.
