K is the only area you're guaranteed to be born into a first world country, therefore giving you better passport privilege to move where you want to go if you don't like it.
Yeah but you might be born as an aboriginal tribe member, which the Australian government isn't exactly the nicest towards.
Right now you get financially looked after by the government haha. It's your family you'd be wanting to move away from if you're born in a remote community
Monkey paw, you get born as a fish, and spawn-captured/killed immediately.
God damn spawn campers
Bears should get more shit than they do for their shitty tactics.
I hate bugs more than third world countries
Hate to break it to you, but third world countries have bugs too.
Are there second world countries? I never hear about them. Is there a master list?
The old division was nato/capitalist block was first world, soviet/communist block was second world and everything else was third world.
The soviet union may be gone, but a lot of the countries that used to be a part of it are still at the same relative standard of living between the developed west and the underdeveloped global south, so could be considered "second world". The biggest example is, of course, russia; yeah, not the best standard of living but a lot better than what a lot of the world is getting.
I know that's now generally accepted, but when I was young it was Old World (Yurp, Russia etc) and New World (US, Canada, Australia etc). But the poorer former colonies, the developing nations, didn't fit either, so they were called the Third World.
K gives you about a 60% chance of being born in the ocean.

I don't know.... it looks like 60% ocean to me....I don't want to be born in the middle of the ocean.
