What is the "west"?

Anyway, here's a reminder that two weeks ago the big war on everybody's head was USA against NATO.

Western liberal democracies and those closely aligned with them is colloquially "the west" now when talking geopolitics.

Obviously it's not geographic as Australia and New Zealand are in the Eastern Hemisphere but would always be assumed to be part of the "west" when discussing geopolitics.
