The nations that joined the EU recently are considered Second World countries.

Ethiopia wasnt given the chance to join the EU strangley enough. But as someone who as actually been to Latvia, Slovakia & Poland I can tell you much of it is akin to third world conditions. The reason the countries on a whole may not be regarded as third world is that there are many parts that are not.
Most Europeans would regard not having access to electricity, water and health care third world, regardless of how it is defined.
