First, Second, and Third World references to countries are based on their level of economic development.
"First World" refers mostly to North America and the Western European countries.
"Second World," refers to China and Russia.
"Third World" countries are seen as being less industrialized and more impoverished.
All the terms are subjective and, in some academic circles, their use is becoming controversial.

A country is said to belong to the first world when it is part of the most prosperous and industrialized global network. Third world countries, on the other hand, are poor, do not have much power and are not considered to be highly developed in terms of economy, culture and technology.

I think the more political correct descriptions are developing nations and undeveloped nations. The developing nations may have the resources but do not have the financial institutions and industries set up to be a force in the world or to support the majority of its people.

The difference is not money precisely, so much as the posession of an advanced economy, usually with a base in services, technology, banking etc.
