Right. Eeeehhhh.....the re-org happened 10 years ago. And don't forget that EU only counts as one, and some of the members are not countries, but international organizations such as IMF, World Bank, and European Central Bank etc. But some countries who don't play ball such as Switzerland, Norway, Iran and Venezuela were specificalliy NOT included although they meet the general GDP/PPP criteria. The actually insist there is no formal criteria, but if you look at the member countries they are all top-30 economies in the world/
