Could you let us know your definition of a major country? Is it based on population, GDP per capita, landmass or something else?

Would you consider Sweden, Denmark or New Zealand to be major countries?

Also, how does this resolve if a country declares themselves to have officially hit net zero but there are cynics saying that some of their carbon offsets shouldn't count for various reasons?
