To address your last sentence: yes, if you can get those five countries to agree on anything, it's probably trustworthy.

If you can get those five countries to agree on anything, the lobbyists/politicians running those countries have found some way to benefit from that message.

Unfortunately, two of those countries aren't allowed to vote so we don't know what they agree on.

Like voting changes much. Countries are all basically oligarchies, some of them have extra steps (a sprinkle of democracy, a pound of corruption) so people won't look up from their iPhone and feel superior to those backwards goat farmers with a dictator and no potable water.

Still, I'm glad to see you enjoy seeing your 1/xxxM representation.
