Interesting post, @flipflopcrypto. As a 🇳🇿 New Zealander myself, I found your comparison of our economy to that of 🇻🇳 Vietnam very compelling ... and a little confronting too. It is quite true though that, technically, both countries are what are essentially known as Third World countries. According to this article, ...
"The term Third World was originally coined in times of the Cold War to distinguish those nations that are neither aligned with the West (NATO) nor with the East, the Communist bloc. Today the term is often used to describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Australia/Oceania."
