The "3rd world" is huge. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly in need of a less-misleading map.

On a traditional Mercator projection Africa looks to be smaller than the United States and Canada combined. In reality Africa is 50% larger - and those are the 2nd-largest and 3rd-largest countries in the world!
