Learn English – term for saying ‘all countries outside the United States’ without using the word ‘foreign’? (used with international audience)

expression-choiceexpressionsword-choice

I have to come up with a short description/label/identifier to describe two geographical groups:

  1. United States
  2. All countries except the United States

The description would be read by a global audience so the term foreign won't work. It must be short since it will be need to be displayed on reports that don't allow for long descriptions. Currently US & EX-US is being used but that doesn't feel right to me. There has to be a term or a way to label this, right?

Best Answer

If you have a table or diagram that lists several specific locations, and then has a section for everywhere else, it's common in business settings to refer to the latter as ROW, which stands for Rest of World. But if there are just two choices, US and everywhere else, US and Non-US would probably be more appropriate.
