Curious; a little survey

What's the first example you of a third-world country or region that you can think of?

And if you don't mind, where are you from?

I'm kind of curious as to how people think of the world around them at the moment. I thought it might be interesting to see how different people from different parts of the world imagine a particular concept, and what associations they have with this concept. It's also interesting to see what people think 'third-world' means, and how it has altered from its initial meaning.

the netherlands come to mind :D

I see africa as a third world continent, although it probably isnt true. Parts of the USA seem to be third world, like the ones from Mickeal Moore's films. After this weeks programs on Russia on more 4 I see there as one.

LOL, I want a shocking monkey too... ^_^

Africa is IMO the most 'suitable' subject to talk about if you wish to talk about third world nations.

Etheopia came to my mind first. I blame that on high quantity of South Park intake though.

And I'm all Canadian, eh.

Interesting responses so far...

That actually prompts me to ask another question: what do you think is meant by the term 'third-world'?
