Talk:Fourth World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We aren't represented by Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO), so we are not the World, but we are the Fifth World, Roadrunner! You yourself said it, and even made my thoughts a lot less irrational than they seemed initially.

HM Cesidio Tallini, Father of the Fifth World
