It isn't actually anything. The term has always been fuzzy and loaded with alternative meanings.
First world could mean the US and NATO, and it can just mean wealthy developed capitalist nations. Third world can mean non-aligned during the cold war, but it can also mean generic shithole.
technically south korea but that was due to fascism and asian sharia law.
They were worse off than Turkey and even Ukrainian SSR.

True first world
As a polisci fag, it irks me to no end. I wish you fucks would recognize that the three world model is anachronistic and just adopt the developed, developing lingo. Three worlds is Cold War parlance goddammit.
It wasnt in the beginning of the 20th century.
They weren't.

Anything with skyscrapers isn't first world.
FACT
Finally someone who is retarded
Development is an Asian and White thing, brown people are fated to be ruled forever by semi-feudal oligarchies and be swayed by elected officials that they aren't developed because there's not enough capitalism/socialism in the country.

China at best created a new wave of oligarchs and gorillionaires and a coastal city rich areas which were in part artificially selected and built for specific fields the party wanted to develop.
I'd go with the classic small oil countries like Emirates & friends, Brunei.
most people know what the term originally meant, they're just not autistic enough to point out it out every time someone uses it
and by 2020!
South Korea used to be poorer than the North.
India will be fusion-powered by 2020
