The G-20 (or Group of Twenty) is an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union (EU). Founded in 1999 with the aim to discuss policy pertaining to the promotion of international financial stability,[1] the G20 has expanded its agenda since 2008 and heads of government or heads of state, as well as finance ministers and foreign ministers, have periodically conferred at summits ever since. It seeks to address issues that go beyond the responsibilities of any one organisation.

Known members
All 21 of the members already have pages here:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| Argentina | Second biggest country in South America. |
| Australia | A large island nation in the southern hemisphere which is pioneering universal surveillance of its citizenry. |
| Brazil | Very large and not particularly populous country which has made a priority of biofuels. |
| Canada | If tar sands are counted, Canada possesses the 3rd largest oil reserves of any nation state. |
| China | The most populous nation state in the world |
| European Union | An international superstructure that has evolved since WW2. |
| France | A European nation, former colonial power, permanent seat on the UNSC |
| Germany | "The economic powerhouse of Europe" - Germany dominates the European Union. |
| India | The "Jewel in the Crown" of the British Empire. Until independence in 1947 it was ruled from London under the auspices of a British-appointed Viceroy whose powers were absolute. |
| Indonesia | A large nation in South East Asia |
| Italy | European country that has the sixth-largest national wealth and third-largest central bank gold reserve. Italy/Deep state is an integral part of the SDS. |
| Japan | A populous country in East Asia. People are traditionally extremely law abiding by European standards. |
| Mexico | "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States!" |
| Russia | The largest nation state in the world |
| Saudi Arabia | Longtime political ally of the USA, Saudi Arabia possesses larger easily accessible oil reserves than any other nation state. |
| South Africa | A former British and Dutch colony |
| South Korea | Part of the great powers of Asia, South Korea was shaped by the US after the Korean War. Most companies in the entertainment and tech industries are owned antidemocratic by rich families that operate like governments of their own, bribing presidents and evading the law. |
| Spain | Seemingly a tropical easy-going country on the southern border of Europe. Spain has had trouble running a “death squad-free” democracy since Franco retired. Spain has seen the bloodiest post Gladio 1 terror attack take place in Madrid in 2004, and was a battleground of the Ifs and GRU during the 2010s. |
| Turkey | Turkey is a nation state at the south east corner of Europe. |
| UK | The biggest Island in Europe. It was a world power with massive influence for over 4 centuries. |
| US | The United States is the single biggest military spender in the world, with a higher 2020 expenditure than the next ten countries combined. Its infrastructure has been described to be in disrepair since the late 1980s. |
