Third World Country: Belarus

A third world country  is a country that has an undeveloped economy and depend on the bigger countries. Many third world countries were colonies at some point, generally the smaller ones, and they live in poverty.

The Republic of Belarus is landlocked by Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland and Latvia. It's strongest economic aspects are industrial or manufactural work. Belarus is also a part of the Soviet Union and is dependent on Russia.

Belarus, like it's fellow third worlders, is in poverty with almost fifty percent of the population living without food, water or shelter. Those who are more affected by the loss of money are single parents, families with only one person working and the less educated. Media is also not allowed within Belarus nor is freedom of speech existing.
