You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?

    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.
