Kinda: For an explanation of the world's see :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World

"Unless they are members of NATO they can't be 1st world
countries."

You don't have to be members of Nato to be 1st world, but
aligned with NATO countries (really align with the USA
sphere).

"1st 2nd and 3rd world were always socio-economic terms
not socio-political"

3rd world was a socio-political term not economic.
