As I understand, the definition of 3rd World Country is based upon the fact that they only have 1 valuable natural resource with which to profit from. The United States was, and still is a wealth of natural resources to profit from.
Edit: I just looked up various definitions of the term "3rd World", and none of them match the one that I was taught in Jr. High.
Yeah, the term has been misused a lot. What I was taught as third world is more appropriately described as developing countries.
