Of course, Russia is partially in Europe and partially in Asia. However, no source is given that shows the GDP of the European part of Russia alone, and whether this would be higher than that of Europe's largest economy (according to the CIA list), Germany. As Russia's total GDP is only 11 percent higher than that of Germany, at least 90 per cent of this would have to be generated in the European part to make it Europe's largest economy (measured in PPP).

Is there a way to automatically add countries to the map?
My new map of prospective nations to join BRICS+ has just been outdated with Burkina Faso's decision to seek joining it. This has led me to wonder how to more efficiently do this. If not, is there a quicker way to edit the file instead of creating a new one and adding it to the page? Dant3gramsci (talk) 02:56, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We must come to an agreement as to whether or not the DPRK should be included in the prospective members list. I'd like some explanation as to why the sources mentioned are invalid and are only opinion pieces so that we can come to a consensus. Dant3gramsci (talk) 05:07, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your source consists of an article by a journalist - who may or who may not have gotten their story right - which consists of one South Korean academic arguing the reasons why North Korea might join BRICS and another one arguing the reasons why they won't. It hardly reflects a policy statement by the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, does it? 14.2.199.154 (talk) 04:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Saudí Arabia
In the 2024 summit, the new members were also sent 5 members on the page you have inserted 4 missing Saudi Arabia which has never really taken a decision model Argentina. The same newspapers investigated report the presence of Saudi Arabia as part of the new 5 admitted! Please correct map and information 109.52.17.113 (talk) 06:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think there should be a new article of its own dedicated specially for the reception, debate over, criticism to BRICS. Discuss. Lan Pee (talk) 05:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at WP:SPLIT, this article isn't large enough that this is a concern. For now, anything related to the aspects that you mentioned can be added to the article itself, IMO. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once this section grows larger, maybe. At its current size I don't believe it should be split yet, however as more information is added it could definitely become its own article. Tylermack999 (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Brazilian PIX
The Brazilian PIX is not an alternative to SWIFT. SWIFT is an international transfer protocol, PIX is a national instantaneous payment system. As of today Brazil do not have an alternative to SWIFT. Did I misunderstood the objective of the paragraph? I would suggest removing PIX from the entry and perhaps review other services to see if they are actually a SWIFT alternative or something else. Alvaroludolf (talk) 06:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is not vandalism; there are sources stating that. That English WP tries very hard to ignore those sources instead of reflecting both points of view speaks volumes about where the platform is headed. 14.2.205.131 (talk) 20:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those sources have the wrong information since Saudi Arabia itself asserted during the current summit that it hasn't made the decision to join as of yet. CmsrNgubane (talk) 09:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do we really need the infobox map with the "Prospective member states"
Literally the whole map is light blue, do we really need it to be like this? We already have a section of possible future members with more information. I think we should just keep a map of current members and the partner members... While the "Prospective member states" is just a speculation at this point... Yacine Boussoufa (talk) 12:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any need for a table of the current representative leaders of member countries?
Most of them are identical to the head of state, albeit slightly different in China's case since the Premier is the head of government but ranks below the head of the CCP. This table could easily be removed and put into the page on members of BRICS instead of this main page, and while it does relate to the adjacent topic of the BRICS Pro Tempore Presidency, it isn't neccessary to list the representative leaders out because it can be assumed they are the highest ranking member within each countries' respective government. Tylermack999 (talk) 15:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't make any sense in its paragraph either, eg. The New Development Bank is noted in the body to be in the same space as the International Monetary Fund, not the G7. CMD (talk) 13:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
