South Korea isn't really first world though
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Ok then use these metrics:

Gdp per capita
Electricity production per capita
Average life expectancy
Literacy rate
Equal gender rights
Capital market system
Low poverty rate

SK has a gdp per capita more than Japan and the UK

SK electricity production per capita is 50% more than Japan and Germany and almost 3x the UK

SK life expectancy exceeds all nations other than Japan, Italy and Spain

SK average male height is greater than Italy, Spain and almost 5cm more than Japan, about equal to the UK

SK defense spending per capita exceeds all Nato nations

Greenland is somehow primitive and probably modernizes in no time with the information economy.

Civilized places will do well even with reduced hard line numbers.

Peterson said Japan has no competitive natural resources besides a high trust society and does well with this relative to more corrupt economies

Japan has a lot of external debt. Spain and Italy too.

Both Japan and Korea are U.S pawns though

Australia has always been 3rd World. Literally a bunch of children up to age 70. Zero accomplishments at all.

Denmark owned Sweden, Norway and parts of Finland. All of the nordic flags, even the English flag is a copy of the Danish one.

However, all must bow before King Germany.

Japan and Korea used to pay tribute to China.

Literally almost all countries have lower rates due to the war. It isn't just japan.

So did Mongolia and Manchuria and yet they still slaughtered hundreds of millions of Chinese every century like it was scheduled by fate

Nobody gives a chit about the ancient times when china, india and egypt were centers of civilization, today they are all the definition of thirdies

Lol third world loll. Do you know taht Sweden is a third world country? Switzerland too.

When Japan got guns from Portugal. They sent 2 letters. 1 to Korea and 1 to the king of Portugal (sub Spain)

Korea was basically: we have no beef with you, only China, just move out to the way (Imjin war)

Portugal was: give us soldiers and more weapons so we can have revenge on China. Portugal and Spain answered: No, we do not want to anger China

The US is still terrified of China to this day. The US laughs at Korea and Japan
