The article notes that already Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE have joined. So the acronym for now will just remain the original countries I guess. :)

Hold my acronym.

I present you... the MISERIE CUBS:

----

Malaysia

India

South Africa

Ethiopia

Russia

Iran

Egypt

.

China

United Arab Emirates

Brazil

Saudi Arabia

----

Note: splitting into two words is necessary to keep Iran separate from Saudi Arabia & UAE, lest they get into a fight.

India / China too, to be on the safe side.

Brazil and Ethiopia have effectively no trade between them[1] (23 million — that's nothing even for Ethiopia), so putting them together makes little sense anyway.
