I've heard of third world countries!

But I'm not sure which ones are the first and second ones. Can someone help me out here?

I think it's one of those things that we were just not meant to understand. Why would they say "world" also? Third Class makes a whole hell of a lot more sense then third world.

The west is the first world
The communist countries were the second
The rest (poor) was the third

Now we don't have a second world as such. The previous second world is pretty much divided into first and third.

d'ya see?
