Perhaps rather than USA vs Non-USA (since that is a very American-centric perspective), we should call this East vs West, where East includes North America and South America, and West includes Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.

I don't want to question your geography, Great Gonzo, but it is commonly accepted that you are backwards in regards to East and West

West= Europe, America

East= Asia, Australia etc

I don't know where Africa falls.

I've always looked at it as more of a cultural thing rather than am actual geography thing. It probably came about during the Greek/roman/middle ages. For instance trade routes would put china/Asia to the east and Europe to the west. Another example would be Alexander the Great going east to take over parts of Asia/India etc.

The obviously when America was discovered it was west to Europe. Now it more so refers to alliances and cultural differences.
