Advanced Nations

''Include those of North America and Western Europe, plus Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.''

Yup, this is what i found in an International Economics glossary whilst doing an assignment. Guess that leaves the rest of us to the stone age! Not even Russia man, since the whole of Eastern Europe has been ignored! By Golly! Just noticed that there's no mention of Asia other than Japan?? Wtf? Malaysia... Singapore.... Hong kong???

Wow Sri Lanka really does not have any hope of becoming an advcanced nation in this guys books....
