The Global North, and South, which includes developing nations primarily in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia and Oceania.
What's mildly interesting is that this division mirrors, in a surprising way, the ancient separation of Gondwana and Laurasia. The countries of the Global North largely reside in regions that were once part of Laurasia, while much of the Global South [including India] resides in areas that were part of Gondwana.

- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoWouldn't it make sense for areas which were once geographically proximate to each other (Gondwana areas / Laurasia areas) to continue being geographically proximate to each other (continue being ≈ north of equator / south of equator)?
- Vox_Leone 2y agoI was talking about India's case, which is quite peculiar.
