Is Azerbaijan a third world country?
The terms "first world", "second world", and "third world" are obsolete relics of the Cold War. "First world" means the developed democratic countries like the United States and Great Britain, "second world" means the communist countries behind the Iron Curtain, and "third world" means the poor countries. Since there's no longer an Iron Curtain, there's no second world and the system is now meaningless. Some have seen fit to retain the system by classifying the former communist countries as the second world. As it used to be part of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan would be a second-world country under this definition.
