It is also used to refer to Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, in contrast with the Western Hemisphere, which includes North and South America. This hemisphere may also be called the ``Oriental Hemisphere''. In addition, it may be used in a cultural or geopolitical sense as a synonym for the ``Old World''.
