* ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'': The super serum auction, the "Un-United Nations," has one of these, each displaying their own {{national stereotype|s}}.

* ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'': The page image is of the potential buyers of Bane. All you have to do is look at how each one of them is wearing a different costume to see how global Bane has gone.

** The [[UsefulNotes/UnitedNations UN Security Council]]. There are five permanent members: One American (the US, obviously), two Europeans (UK, France), one Eurasian (Russia), one East Asian (China), and a smattering of ten elected others, which have to be from different regions: They split into 3 from Africa, 2 from Asia, 2 Latin America and Caribbean, 2 Western Europe and Other and 1 Eastern Europe. This has to be maintained (not by word of UN charter but in the interests of political/diplomatic expediency), and there also has to be at least 1 Arab country (it alternates whether the Arab country is in Africa or Asia each cycle). They dress universally Western business attire, and it can't do much since the Permanent Five are at each others' throats (politely and diplomatically, of course) and can veto each and every decision.
** The BRICS (an acronym of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) fit the bill perfectly. At their annual summits national leaders Jair Bolsonaro, Vladimr Putin, Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping, and Cyril Ramaphosa make up a remarkably diverse bunch, and even had a token woman during Dilma Rousseff's term as President of Brazil (2010-2016).

** The G20 (a now-annual meeting of 19 countries plus the EU that together make up 2/3 of the world's population and 80% of its trade and economy) can be considered a product of this trope. Originally, it was the G7 (the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan) that drew political and economic attention, as they were the premiere free-market economies when they first met in the mid-1970s.[[note]]When they first met, those seven countries alone made up 40% or 50% of the world's GDP, depending on whether you measured in nominal or real terms.[[/note]] Russia joined the group (making it the G8) after the Cold War, but the rise of several developing economies, most notably China, made the need for a more diverse group evident politically. Downplayed insofar as it's not really that organized and its legitimacy is questioned at times due to its exclusivity.

* The Creator/AgathaChristie novel ''The Big Four'' features the titular group, a council of villains who orchestrate murders and schemes all over the world. The Four consists of Li Chang Yen, the leader from China who is [[TheUnseen never seen]], Abe Ryland, an American CorruptCorporateExecutive said to be [[Fiction500 richer than Rockefeller]], Madame Olivier, an EvilGenius and OmnidisciplinaryScientist from France, and "The Destroyer" Claude Darrell, an English actor who uses his skills as an ImplacableMan to [[LatexPerfection masterfully disguise himself]] to commit personal murders.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' does this quite a bit because its mangaka likes making ''everyone'' distinct.

* Creator/ShamusYoung's [[https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=54337 pitch]] for the hypothetical ''Franchise/DeusEx: Pandora's Gun'' fills out the top level of [[TheConspiracy Upper Management]] with one member each from Russia, the US, South Africa, Brazil, and China.

* In "WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'s a Big Fat Liar", Doug [[ImagineSpot imagines]] being on trial by the "Sub-Committe to Uncover Big Fat Liars", which consists of: his parents, Mr. Bone (presumably the chairperson), Mrs. Wingo, Mayor White, Roger and his cat Stinky.
