Is the G7 or G8 summits named for the countries that attend? So one day we could have a G143 summit? Or am I missing something why numbers go up or down?

  Yeah that’s it. It became G8 when Russia joined, and G7 when Russia was expelled.

      Not exactly, it’s a group of 7 or 8 of the biggest countries and they have meetings. Like a smaller UN where they can ignore those hundred tiny countries.

  On your first question, yes, but the number some times changes with the name staying the same.

  On your second question, you are looking at the UN.
