I'll take a shot at it... I don't know how to do the formatting in proper

Someone who speaks better Lojban than I do please correct what I have thus

"lo cabnalfarvi gugde" (intended lit. not-currently-developed nation) was
the best I could come up with for "developing country". I tried to carry
over the intended politically correct meaning of the English phrase.
