developed vs. industrialized countries (between, exam, Australia, New Zealand)

[yofie]

The terms "developed country" and "industrialized country" are about synonymous, but at least in certain cases there are subtle differences between the two. For example, Australia and (even more so) New Zealand are certainly developed countries, but the degree to which they have industrialized per se is not quite the same as in Western Europe or the United States (to give a few examples). How much do you agree?

[Major Barbara]

Not at all. The specificity of either term is approximately nil to start out with.

Let me spell it out for you: If you have a lot of industry, you are an industrialized country. To be a developed country you need to have the Kardashians

[Major Barbara]

Better the Kardashians actually than Donald Trump and the Fifteen Dwarfs.
