First World in what sense? At its inception, First World was used in reference to countries which had joined NATO, Second World was used for Warsaw Pact countries, and Third World was for the nonaligned countries. In that context, only the United Kingdom and Canada would have been considered First World countries, as they were the only NATO members. Some sources would also cite Australia and New Zealand, which weren't NATO members, but were members of SEATO prior to its dissolution.

The British Empire is another word for the commonwealth, which today is a group of nations that have colonised with Great Britain for one reason or another. Some reasons were for alliances, others for resources and help from Britain. Other countries had no choice and were annexed by Britain. +++ There is a major difference between the British Empire and the Commonwealth (capital 'C'): although the Commonwealth countries are former Imperial territories they rule themselves with the British Sovereign as titular Head of State.
