Map[edit]

Perchè non ci sono l'Argentina e il Cile tra i Paesi del primo mondo e c'è il Sud Africa

translation(?) Why not there are the Argentine and Chile between the Countries of the first world and is the South Africa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.97.56 (talk) 18:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finland in the Third World? Really??--95.165.139.167 (talk) 00:31, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this article is true, why is Thailand not in red in the map? 223.24.61.49 (talk) 19:32, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
