    Why is this downvoted? I’m not a huge fan of BRICS either but this is certainly news worthy

      No idea. I can see not up voting it. I think it’s a bit of a non-story. Country looks to maybe join a group containing it’s some of it large trading partners. This group might or might not do something on the future. Only interesting bit is it’s the BRICS.

      But a down vote just feels unnecessary. The story is factual. The source is fine. It might be relevant to someone.

        I forgot that federation means vote counts can be different for different instances. On mine it was sitting at -2 when I posted my comment

    Empires usually only last about 200 years, the USA is already 150 years old or so.
