| @HiddenPalace: Shows you know quite a bit. In the Goldman Sachs rating system for the "Next Eleven" countries (the countries not quite as developed as Brazil, Russia, India and China) was based on several criteria including the type of government, economic stability, etc. South Korea was in the highest division "Developed Countries"; the rest were divided between "Newly Industrialized", "Developing" and "Least Developed". |
