    See, now that terminology works much better! The counterpart to it is “developed” not “first world,” though.

    Examples:

    • “Switzerland is a developed, third world country.”
    • “The US is a developing, first world country.”

    (Disclaimer: I’m neither agreeing or disagreeing with folks’ assessment of the US, just discussing categories.)
