BRICS vs NATO! | Hearts of Iron 4 [HOI4 Modern Day]

BRICS vs NATO in HOI4 Modern Day 4! BRICS is an economic association between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. In the real world, this is not a military alliance, but let's change that for this scenario. We will also be using the Modern Day 4 mod for this video. Who do you think would win?

About Hearts of Iron 4 - Waking the Tiger:
Years before Europe went to war, Japan’s imperial ambitions targeted the divided Chinese Republic. Crippled by government paralysis and centuries of fitful development, China is still not a pushover. With vast reserves of manpower and resources, not to mention a giant landmass, can the Republic of China and its temporary ally withstand Japan?

So Brics is basically an alliance with THE biggest country on the planet THE 2 countries that have 1+ billion in population Brazil which is pretty huge And South Africa Which you know, is there

What remains of NATO wins in America and BRICS wins in Asia. EU unites in One country to end their economic Crisis This brings closer the USA and Russia and maybe leades to WW4, with EU, Mexico, Brasil and China on One side and the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand the USA, Russia and India on the other.

Drew, a quick note: the BRICS aren't a real alliance. It's just an acronym that investors came up with to talk about some emerging economies. They have summits occasionally but many of them actively work against each other (ex. India and China) or have no real reason to cooperate (Ex. South Africa wouldn't align themselves with Russia when its more profitable and safer to align with America and their gigantic navy)
