I’m not really getting what you’re trying to say. If you’re trying to define the global south by a horizontal line,you’re gonna have hard time. It’s called the “global south” because most of the members are south of the equator. This does not mean all of the members have te be south of the equator. The term is strictly economical and not geographical. In this source they even include Bosnia and Herzegovina and they exclude Australia, because it’s (obviously) not a “developing country” by any definition.

Your absolutely right. I may have been wrong to use this particular term, but it was more conveninent than using southern eurasia/africa/malay archipelago-oceania. however you cant deny that nations which are north of the 36th parallel, and have direct access to the north pacific sea, north atlantic sea, or north sea (russia, france, spain, sweden, italy, korea, germany, japan, norway etc.) (although norway and korea were both conquered by their southern neighbors) all occupy positions in modern history (1492-1945) - where they are noted for their colonialism during the first stage of globalization via colonization during the rise of mercantilism and early exploration (1492-1760), or second stage of globalization of pure industrialization and pure capitalism (1760-1945) - and it is by no coincidence that the perpetrators of globalization/colonialism remain in high prestigous economic positions in the current Atlanticist world order after britain gave it’s torch to anglo america after ww2. Currently russia contests this world order with it’s eurasianism, with the help of china.
