Second World Countries

This map focusses on Second World nations, which are mostly connected to previous Cold War-era socialist or communist regimes. Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and a number of Eastern European and Central Asian countries are important nations. The green markings on these nations highlight their geographic dispersion throughout Europe, Asia, and portions of the Middle East. By separating these countries from First World (developed) and Third World (developing) countries, the map offers a clear geopolitical perspective. It also provides context for their worldwide position by highlighting nearby nations, continents, and oceans. This map is a helpful tool for comprehending the political and historical relevance of Second World countries.
