Senegal. I lived there for several years (I lived in a nice part of Dakar with other expats, but we traveled around the country). It's "third world" alright. That doesn't mean it's horrible and no one should go there. But it's impoverished and has problems you can't fathom if you've never been to a country like that.

And yeah "third world" is a dated Cold War term and not a real classification of nations, but Senegal is a nation that ranks "low" in the HDI (Human Development Index) and that's a good indicator of which nations are struggling and might be thought of as "third world".

I thought they had industry and running water...lol...
@calicuz If I were younger I would invest in Vietnam real estate, the country is rapidly becoming a world class travel destination.

I'm thinking it may be an outdated term because there may not be any 3rd world counties left.

@IloveJ Thank you.
Rain is falling on the fires as we speak.
It won't put them out completely but the intensity has fallen.
The rain won't break the drought either but any rain will cause new growth of grasses. Feeding stock.
Are South American countries considered third world ? I'd think so.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters

No, not anymore. They have industry and the fastest growing middle class in the world right now.

@calicuz Because many Third World countries were economically poor and non-industrialized, it became a stereotype to refer to poor countries as "third world countries", yet the "Third World" term is also often taken to include newly industrialized countries like Brazil.

Yes we are. The way our economy is set up, we are doomed to collapse in about 50 yrs.
