several of the countries listed would be considered third world


I checked the list to this:
http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/third_world.htm

According to that, they're not third-world.

I also just found this...
"The term Third World was originally coined in times of the Cold War to distinguish those nations that are neither aligned with the West (NATO) nor with the East, the Communist bloc. Today the term is often used to describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania.
Many poorer nations adopted the term to describe themselves."

So, maybe "third-world" isn't the best term for this...
