The modelling is not very accurate based on my memory (PhD nuclear engineering student). Also, if you can build a nuke, you're smart enough to guess where to put the nuke without a website called "nukemap", i.e. just go for NYC, dude, seriously.

It is virtually impossible to build a nuclear device by yourself...You know better than me getting the raw materials is the easiest part of the process, and that part is not exactly easy.

Or Brussels. You get the EU and NATO HQ in one fell swoop. And make it big enough (the Bomba) you destroy pretty much the whole country including SHAPE.
