They say it is a way of making up defenses against the South, but the events of the past few years suggest that they want the world to see them as a real country and not as a joke resulting of WWII.

Manhattan Project
The secret U.S. program to develop nuclear weapons during World War II was called the Manhattan Project. Initiated in 1942, it involved collaboration among scientists, engineers, and military personnel to build atomic bombs. The project ultimately led to the development of the first nuclear weapons, which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Japan has the technological capability to develop nuclear weapons quickly, but it has chosen not to do so due to its commitment to a non-nuclear policy.

East Germany did not develop nuclear weapons primarily due to its political and military alignment with the Soviet Union, which discouraged independent nuclear programs among its satellite states. Additionally, the East German government lacked the necessary resources, technological expertise, and industrial capacity to pursue a nuclear weapons program. The focus was instead on conventional military capabilities within the framework of the Warsaw Pact. Ultimately, East Germany's nuclear ambitions were further curtailed by international treaties and agreements against the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
As far as I know nuclear weapons have never been traded between countries, so if a country has nuclear weapons it is due to their own science and technology, or to espionage activities to get the required knowledge. The other criterion is not to have signed up to the Non Proliferation Treaty, except for countries that had already developed weapons when the Treaty came into being.
