The above
details were provided by Sven Klaus....the figures after the km2 are the current population estimates of the respective countries in millions. (M).Total....under a billion or about 23% of the world population.
Now my  comments:
I think the Americans started this G thing, they and the British, kind of an Anglo American effort to take control of the world...neo kapitaslisic effort.
They pretty well had to add France....and the former enemies Germany and Japan as they represented the quickly re-emerging new industrial powers and capital states.
And that was the G-5, a powerful financial club.For good measure and to add a couple of partners...not sure why...our beloved Canada and Italy ( Italy?) joined the group.And that was it...the G7.
More recently after they totally dumped communism (and in the process lost a few substantial components of the country), the former Soviet union joined the club as the Russian Federation. G8 then...and that's sort of my view of the exclusive club, the G8.
I would imagine that China, India and most likely Brasil will be the next two or three countries to be added...

The G20 is a horse of a different colour it was a group established to meet with a number of finance ministers,financial movers and shakers of a number of countries even Saudi Arabia is included.The figure 20 apparently is not accurate...in fact about 40 countries are represented.

The Bilderberg thing...a group of between 120 and 150 rich and powerful folks decided to get together and try to effect the future of the world financially...I believe the Euro came out of this. The club...has not included Japan so far...they are a bit on the secretive side and it appears that its mostly an Anglo-American and friends thing. Go figure. This year,they are meeting in Switzerland.This group first got together in 1954.
