I think South Africa should be both green and blue on this map, especially in those days...Barbaar (talk) 20:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Baltic States

The Baltic States were controlled by the soviet union and south africa SHOULD be in blue because it was rich as hell then , now it's ruined and destroyed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.180.50 (talk) 23:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• Putting Iran in the role of a Third World country is hillarious. Even suggesting that for instance Turkey is a First-Wirld country or even Mongolia a second world country, saying that Iran is a third world nation is truly biased and wrong. Iran deserves to be called a semi-developped economy and has very clear traits of a second world country and potential for a first world one.

• Please read the article. The terms Third, First, and Second World were used to describe a country's political position during the cold war, and have nothing to do with development. They later came to be applied to development as many of the "Third World" nations were extremely underdeveloped, whereas most of NATO member nations were well developed. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 04:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I think its still there, but for some reason you have to go to the Third World article first. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 08:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
