Thank you for that clarification, it confused me and seemed a little ignorant at first glance. It would seem north and south geographically have nothing to do with the term.

It does have something to do with geography, but it is imprecise. The same way 'western' is imprecise, because it always includes Australia and New Zealand. And 'first world' is imprecise, because of it has roots in the cold war, thus should not include countries like Switzerland.
