	I didn't get South Korea as I was under the impression that its economy was already well developed. Shows how much I know.

	@HiddenPalace: Shows you know quite a bit. In the Goldman Sachs rating system for the "Next Eleven" countries (the countries not quite as developed as Brazil, Russia, India and China) was based on several criteria including the type of government, economic stability, etc. South Korea was in the highest division "Developed Countries"; the rest were divided between "Newly Industrialized", "Developing" and "Least Developed".

	Sorry to disappoint, but the Turkish economy is looking pretty bad...I don't think they will be so "up-and-coming"

	Sorry about the vagueness. Putting "Can you name the 15 countries from the Goldman Sachs BRIC and Next Eleven lists of countries with fast-growing economies?" seemed like it wouldn't get much action. I promise this isn't just me listing 15 countries I think are kind of neat. There's a source. It's from Goldman Sachs, you know, those people who screwed up our economy, took bail out money and then payed themselves fat bonuses without increasing the amount of money they lent to homeowners, small businesses, etc.

	My first thought after reading "big impact" was North Korea. Economy's not much to speak of, but don't underestimate the impact of an intercontinental nuclear missile.
