    here i am in the US and i have no idea how the US fits the defintion. A high standard of living is an important part of the definition and when only about 10-20% of the population fits into that bubble, I’m not sure if the definitions fits.

      The definition of the First World is “The United States and its allies in the Cold War.” The Second World is the Soviet Union and its allies. The Third World is everyone else. This definition places Finland and Switzerland in the Third World.

      The connotation of “third world” meaning where we go to shoot those “for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day, you too can give food and water to this desolate brown child” commercials came later.

        I would only argue against that definition in saying it is a bit dated. It is not the modern definition of the term.

    We will soon have to lobby out a reclassification for them. They’re more and more like a 3rd world dictatorship.
