Being poor is the only way a country is third world or not. Being politically related to America is not relevant to the present definition. So no, it is not "technically in every other way". It just is not a third world country, period.

Do you seriously think you know what a word's meaning is better than the hundreds of millions of people who use it in a way different from how you suggest it?

I know it's meaning just fine.
