If you're going to use the political definition of "third world", then you need to include Switzerland. I'm sure that's not the type of country the OP was referring to. These days, almost everyone who uses this term is using it in the economic sense, since the Cold War has been over for decades. Do you also complain when people use the term "decimated" and they aren't talking about killing 1 of every 10 soldiers?
