Thirdworld countries

Thinking of my blog's title -"life on a third world country" I haven't even focused on real third world countries and the stats and the conditions in there, so I will try to cover a little stats on third world countries, though I will focus more on the known countries (especially Ph because I live here hahaha)

Slightly different figures you will find at The World Bank Group

There are more lists in here http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/third_world.htm If you want to browse more stats.

For a country to be tagged as a third world country, many factors are there, which you can see at the link above where the author categorized it.

As you can see only 3 of the countries in top 16 aren't from Africa which only proves that Africa still needs a long way to go
for the country and the people itself could prosper more. But on the brighter side there are many things in Africa that is to be amazed of
The continent itself is a vast basket of nature and a very beautiful one.

lets just continue this post on my next blog, gonna play minecraft now with my bro :D
