The '''Brick nations''' or '''BRIC nations''' are countries which are in today's [[economy]] not considered [[core nations]] but whose economies are growing at a very rapid rate. Among these secondary countries are usually included [[Brazil]], [[Russia]], [[India]], and [[China]], hence the acronym "BRIC."
== First Summit ==
The first summit of the BRIC nations was held in Yekaterinberg, once an industrial jewel of the Soviet Union. One of the conclusions of this summit is that the [[United States]] and the [[European Union]] hold a disproportionate amount of [[power]] and that there should be a new multinational entity like the [[United Nations]] but with increased representation for these emerging economies.
