    USA doesn’t fit any of those definitions anyway.

    I know what OP means, 3rd world is just not the right word.

    USA is a banana republic

      Oh 100%, I’m just saying his use of the word is in no way wrong like half the comments seem to imply. Everyone knew exactly what he meant and the definition is in most dictionaries.
