Thanks for the education.
Wow - I learned something... I thought it was economic.
cdubatrc is right, second world refers to communist countries.
look up on your international relations section of your local library. when the cold war started the world was politically recoginsed in three categories: America and Europe was in the bloc that was considered to be first world democracies, then there was the communist bloc, ALL other countries were uncategorised thus the "third world" came about, it didnt necessarily mean poor or underdeveloped but most of these contries were so at the time
You have taught me something cathexis and for this you shall be spared during the revolution. Well I'll at least make your death quick and painless.
Socialist gov.
My country was a second world country. Now we are a third world one. :--(
I thought it was technically an economy based in agriculture
