You are citing a historic (and outdated) meaning of the three world system. The current meaning is essentially an economic classification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World “Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the definition has instead largely shifted to any country with little political risk and a well functioning democracy, rule of law, capitalist economy, economic stability, and high standard of living. Various ways in which modern First World countries are often determined include GDP, GNP, literacy rates, life expectancy, and the Human Development Index.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World “Subsequently the actual meaning of the terms "First World", "Second World" and "Third World" changed from being based on political ideology to an economic definition.”
