Here in the

The working definition of third world is lacking in reliable water,

Water and phones are OK. Electricity varies a lot from island to
island, also depending on how hot it is.

It would have to be Diesel power on each island, and the voltage would
depend on the ratio of engine cubic inches to AC compressor cubic
inches which would vary from island to island. As long as the beer
coolers in the bars stay semi cold, you could call the place
civilized.
