So the question is are you living in a Western or Eastern Civilization? When i say that, I mean are you living in a West or East oriented civilization?
The definition is as follows:
East is until Japan
West is until America

The wrong definition is:

(xkcd, terminology. Number 503)

Do not start a flamewar thank you very much.

Also, some people consider Russia and England to be Western oriented (even though in the middle or East)

Just so you all know, this is has nothing to do with geographical location. Just the life style is the norm in your country.

Some Western Countries are:
- The U.S.
- Canada
- U.K.
- Australia
- New Zealand

Spread out across the world. Also, for a country to be 'Westernize' it has to be 'Christianized.' Basically a Western Country is a country with the majority of the Religious people being Christian (or Jewish.) Here is a map:

I hope that helps people.

I live in a Western Country...

This is exactly what I'm asking. Thanks for clarifying that.

For any hypothetical members there, what about someone living Ethiopia? (That's in Africa if ya didn't know) It's a Christian country, but not a European or European-based country.

I'm in an "Eastern Civilization" c
ountry, btw. よろしくお願いします。 *kowtows*

I live in New Zealand, we live in a western civilization but according to you it's Eastern.
I was referring to the US with that picture. New Zealand is a Western Civilization.

uh...im Canadian. so west...right? >.<
(i hope im getting this right. i was the only one in my class that when given a map, knew that crossing the Pacific ocean was a faster way of getting to Japan. Not the other way. everybody was skeptical, since they thought there was a whole other side of the world. but no...i knew ;D)
