Den første verden er Nato og de vestlige allierede lande, den anden
verden er de kommunistiske lande og den tredje verden er de
ikke-allierede lande.
De ikke-allierede lande er oftest de fattige lande og derfor er den
daglige betydning nok de underudviklede lande.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World
The term was coined by economist Alfred Sauvy in an article in the
French magazine The Observer of August 14, 1952. It was a deliberate
reference to the 'Third Estate' of the French Revolution. Tiers
monde means third world in French. The term gained widespread
popularity during the Cold War when many poorer nations adopted the
category to describe themselves as neither being aligned with NATO
or the USSR, but instead composing a non-aligned "third world."

The terms First World, Second World, and Third World are used to
divide the nations of Earth into three broad categories. Originally,
First World referred to capitalist societies, Second World to
centrally planned Communist ones, and Third World for the remainder
of the planet, mostly developing countries based on tribal systems.
