Western Countries
Western countries generally refer to nations in Europe, North America, and parts of Oceania that are characterized by democratic political systems, market-based economies, and cultural values rooted in Western traditions. This term often includes countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, among others.
