I posted this same thread in the pre-1900 forum in December 2016, but I was recently thinking about this again.

Now that we've got that out of the way:

The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are the leading emerging economies of the world as of 2016. The G7 are the first world countries - America, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, France and Japan (Russia was part of it until being suspended in 2014). How can we make it that BRICS are by alt-2016, no longer emerging but first world economies/countries rivalling the G7? And how might this affect the world as we know it?
