Your reality? Didn't you get the memo on that?

FYI, I do not fully agree with the classification shown on this map... For instance, Greenland belongs to Denmark and is in red!
Here's the definition to the graph ...
__ Definitions
The term "First World" refers to so called developed, capitalist, industrial countries, roughly, a bloc of countries aligned with the United States after World War II, with more or less common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
"Second World" refers to the former communist-socialist, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.
"Third World" are all the other countries, today often used to roughly describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries, as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.
*from NationsOnline.org*
Question -- is China listed as a 'second world' country only because of the *communist-socialist* heading and not the *capitalist* one?
Thank you for the clarifications Big Al, very helpful and clear...
Here is another quick way to recalibrate your perception of to "where you are" when waking up the next day after a drinking binge.
