Second World could either mean that the country was (1) once under the influence of the Soviet Union which means that they were centrally planned economies and at the same time a one-party state or (2) is more stabilized and more developed compared to a third-world country but less stabilized and less developed than a first-world country which include most of Latin America, South Africa, and some countries in Asia.
