Thank fricking God someone else in the world actually knows what the term "first world" refers to.
Really grinds my gears...
Its a pet peeve of mine. I don't get out of shape on grammar, but this should be common knowledge and most people use it incorrectly #firstworldproblems
I suppose one could argue that the term has sort of evolved since that original designation, no?

but south Korea, Japan, and west germany all become first world pretty quickly.
Because we carried them?
And you do realize any country that was in NATO or allied with the US is a 1st world country right? Second world was the Warsaw Pact/communists. Third World was all the neutral counties (third world now being synonymous with poor af)

Thailand is really poor outside of major tourist spots and cities.
In fact, the running theme is that the main thing holding back india, thailand, etc is grinding rural poverty.
Punjab in India is a sad sight to see.

They have issues shitting in the correct place and their best leave for the US and UK.
They'll maintain a high GDP on population but remain per capita poor for a long time.
With a solid investment going forward,in that SUB-CONTINENT,the brightest of India might decide to stay home,and gamble on the future.
Location,location, location,can't be stressed enough..and India has untold,untapped natural resources as well.
Mahindra tractors were just the start.

Sure. I believe it can. But to evolve its important to know the original, intended meaning.
Back to the original query, the country that has done less with more is Brazil.No reason they should not be a dominant power financially and militarily in South America.
Watch this from Prager and tell me it can't happen here: LINK

Not a bad guess.
I am thinking an eastern European nation. Maybe Poland?
Brazil is pretty poised to boom, but they can't get out of their own way.
Russia? I am not even sure that counts. Also see Brazil.

Probably a banking empire,but will outgrow itself quickly and have untold problems.

Much of Brazil is amazon rainforest that is inaccessible and not economically feasible to clear.

Best guesses:
Mexico
Vietnam
Trinidad
Columbia
Argentina
Possibly Brazil too.

Third World = developing countries
This is a change in rhetoric. In the 1960s 3rd world countries were called LDCs. Less Developed Countries. The term 'less' was deemed too stigmatizing. The word 'developing' is like the 400 pound woman who says she is getting fit because she used to weigh 410.

Yes, but they have had a boom in economic development of the rainforest since their policy in the 1960s similar to the US policy for claiming land during the frontier era.
Essentially anyone who wanted to could claim vacant land in Brazil as long as you could demonstrate economic use of the land.
This is where the "save the rainforest" campaign came from. They were proposing to build a transcontinental highway in the 80s that would have opened up the whole of North Brazil to economic development. The enviros managed to stop it.

Malaysia has come a long way in the last 50 years. Primarily because of the influence of successful Chinese and Indian immigrants over the backwards Malay Muslims.
