What are the List of western countries in the world?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by a 'Western country'. There are varying definitions of a 'Western country'. Mine is- any country that is significantly shaped enough by European/Western culture that its mainstream society develops a European/Westernised culture. Of course, this would include most European nations.

Here goes:

-United States

-United Kingdom & Ireland

-Western & Central Europe (Inc. Denmark)

-Scandinavia

-Canada

-Australia

-New Zealand

-South Africa

-Some Latin American countries (e.g. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico)

-Poland (?)

-Croatia (?)

-Estonia (?)

-Latvia (?)

-Lithuania (?)

-Finland

-Iceland

-To an extent, Mediterranean Europe
