the globe by traveling west frpom the Prime Meridian. So, in summary, the only
countries that do NOT lie entirely west of the Prime Meridian are those that are
traversed by it.
Different countries don't have different prime meridians. There is one Prime Meridian on Earth, and everybody uses the same one for their longitude measurements. The Prime Meridian passes through three continents, eight countries and several seas. North America is not one of the continents, and Canada is not one of the countries. The longitude of the Prime Meridian ... by international definition and agreement ... is zero.
The three countries that the Prime Meridian passes through are -- England -- France -- Spain -- Algeria -- Mali -- Burkina Faso -- Togo -- Ghana.
The continents that the Prime Meridian passes through are Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
The Prime Meridian actually passes through three continents, Europe, Africa and Antarctica.
