Why are some countries called third world countries?

This term isn't really used now as it was seen by some as derogatory, they are now called developing nations.

Its based on their social and economic status.
Countries that have little or no money.
Countries that do not have a big role in the United Nations.

I believe it's because of their state of poverty. Although, I have never heard of second world countries...

The developed western democracies were considered the first world. The communist bloc was the second. Everyone else was third world.

Third world countries are countries that don't have any infrastructure. They're mostly just wild areas.
