Are there Second World Countries?

Most of us know that there are first world countries like the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and that there are third world countries. Are there second world countries? That and more explained in the video!

My own model is this:
1st = developed
2nd = developing but not in poverty
3rd = underdeveloped & in poverty

[gardofuentes]

I created my own model.
First World = Rich Countries
Second World = Medium Countries
Third World = Poor Countries

[mr.dr.genius]

I have created my own model (which is probably stupid but eh, who cares)
1. World=Rich countries where the people are rich too, have a high standard of living etc.
2. World=Rich countries where the people aren't rich
3. World=Poor countries

2:44 Angola would have been a second world country as they were communist during the cold war

[unitedstatesofamerica]

I have created my own model
First world - developed nations
Second world -developing countries
Third world -undeveloped countries

Power is what assigns the digits to countries, resulting in human suffering. Great annotation! Keep it coming!!!!

[dutchcheese]

Try to develop it to five instead
1st= Rich countries and wealthy citizens (France, UK, Japan)
2nd= Rich countries with high inequality and often a dictatorship (Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey)
3rd= Medium rich country with a struggling population (Albania, Georgia, Algeria)
4th=Poor countries (Bangladesh, Congo, Haiti)
5th=Poorest counties and subdivision of the poorest part of the world (Somalia etc.)

1= developed
2= developing
3= underdeveloped

Thailand is third world country, never ever shortage of good food all enjoy and happy life here.

1st world countries: superpowers and great powers
2nd world countries: regional powers and middle powers
3rd world countries: india

I think the "updated model" has to include the newly industrialized countries and which has the potential of becoming a first-world country someday. That's what i judge correct in this case:

• First-World: Rich, Industrialized and Socially Stable (US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Western Europe);

• New Second-World: Even though this concept is outdated because it was once used to define socialism allies, that doesn't work anymore. This model now compreends developing countries which are part of G20, mainly democratic, westernized, christian and less industrialized than the first-world (China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Argentina, Thailand, Colombia and Chile).

• Third-World: Countries sunken on poverty which doesn't have any perspective of industrialization or increasing its socioeconomical status on a near future (the rest of the world).

[Popcorn-bsjd]

I think yeah, there are countries which are not developed but not in poverty.

My guess is that second world countries would include China, Thailand, Turkey, Uruguay, Mexico, India, Philippines, Argentina, Chile, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia, Poland and big etc.

I always thought that 1st world meant free and prosperous countries, 2nd world meant not free but prosperous countries, and 3rd world meant not-so-prosperous countries. So the u.s. and scandinavia would be considered 1st world, russia, china, and the like would be considered 2nd world, and south america and africa (including post-1990's s. africa) would all be considered 3rd world, for example.

[Mioney]

The second world is the desert one. You get there by beating the first Koopa kid if you didn’t find the warp whistle.
