That's why we make a negative-fifth world country! Woo!

[GreatWyrmGold]

...
Um.
Many problems with that.

For starters, as I understand it, First World/Third World is a holdover from the old Cold War days. The USA and its allies were the First World, the USSR and its allies were the Second World, and the poor countries caught in the middle were the Third World. After the Cold War, pretty much everyone became "allied" with the US (since the USSR was a little too nonexistent to ally with), so there wasn't a Second World, and the Third World expanded to all poor areas.

[IronTomato]

So take over the world.

[GreatWyrmGold]

My plan to do that:

1. Establish legitimate moon base. Main industries: Power (a band of solar panels around the equator, beamed to Earth via some kind of microwaving satellite), Tourism, Specialty Agriculture.
2. Build secret railguns of epic proportion. Prototypes may be used to reduce the price of exporting goods.
3. Supervillainey Time: Threaten world with railguns. Destroy military bases, especially ones far from civilian population centers or housing spacecraft.
4. With the fate of their biggest cities held hostage and no way to stop us befor firing--nor any way they could save more than a couple cities if we fired--Earth surrenders.
5. We rule better than most of Earth is ruled, abolish war, etc, so people accept us as a good, legitimate government.
6. Who knows? We've already had the "Profit" step. Maybe develop a feasible means of interstellar transport?

6) colonize solar system.
7) conquer milky way galaxy.
conquer local galactic cluster.
9,10,11,etc) conquer next largest classification.

Acceptable. But it's long-term.

GWG, The thing is the world were also divided up into (And I have a 60's era handbook on geopolitics so i Know) Free World, Slave World, and the other guys. Tito mostly. Also techinally communist 
 
Anyway, a analogous entity could be the allys opposed to US interest in all shapes, i.e., quite possibly Syria, Iran, Russia, China, all those wonderful people.
 
 
The Leader of the third world, if Neutrality is the Definition, is therefore switzerland.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Was, not Is.

And I don't really care, my point was about how stupid the "-5th world" is as a concept.

[misko27]

Perhaps the 4th world is aliens. Or us, assuming we get that far.

[10ebbor10]

Last thing I heard the fourth world were the poor in the rich First world countries.

[Helgoland]

World 9 3/4 is composed of English train stations.

[miauw62]

But then what is the second world?

[Helgoland]

The one where you pay with Linden Dollars, obviously. (They're communists, they just act capitalist. It's all a conspiracy!)

'Ey! If you criticize my stupidity again, Ah kick you in the nuts!

[misko27]

AHblabla!
 
Please keep on topics.
 
So, Third worlders. Hmm. I would prefer a European Country, because most of us are white, and therefore taking over a country of one of the lower countries. Anyway. Maybe a Latin american country too, I bet we could take out one of them without too many problems.
