The context is in Dungeon Core stories.

If the MC based their dungeons on places from Earth, what kind of places would result in the best dungeons? It doesn't especially need to be ones for battling. Something like a city was also fine--anything that you think can make for a good dungeon.

I was guessing one of them might be IKEA, but not sure.

Feel; free to add your inputs :D

Where did you even get that definition from...
It was the original definition, before everyone misappropriated the term. First world country is NATO countries, otherwise known as The Western Bloc or Capitalist countries. Second world country is Warsaw Pact members and its allies, otherwise known as The Eastern Bloc or Socialist countries. Third world countries are everything neither, with the majority being members of the non aligned countries NAM. The reason why you don't hear people talk about Second World countries anymore is because the Soviet Union collapsed and therefore, there is no more Second world nations.

The first world, second world and third world countries have nothing to do with the level of development. The term was coined because America believed themselves superior to everyone else. It didn't help that former soviet bloc had serious human development index issues and thus made them inferior to capitalist states in every category other than military. Third world eventually became misunderstood as being undeveloped as they did not receive development aid whether in funds or technology from either bloc, therefore remaining behind in technology, economy and human development as a result.

Just because a lot of the new generation misappropriated the term, doesn't mean it's the correct term. Post WW2 Argentina was quite advanced due to the many high ranking nazi specialists escaping there, but it was labelled as third world countriy as it was not allgned to either America nor Soviet.

Excerpt about the second world from wikipedia:
The Second World was a term used during the Cold War for the industrial socialist states that were under the influence of the Soviet Union. In the first two decades following World War II, 19 communist states emerged; all of these were at least originally within the Soviet sphere of influence, though some (notably, Yugoslavia and the People's Republic of China) broke with Moscow and developed their own path of socialism while retaining Communist governments. Most communist states remained part of this bloc until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991; afterwards, only five Communist states remained: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam. Along with "First World" and "Third World", the term was used to divide the states of Earth into three broad categories
