Non-sporting Usage
Outside of sports and games, Rest of World (RoW) is also a term used to distinguish an unspecified but inclusive group of nations from one or more dominant players in the comparative analysis of markets, economies, military capabilities, and so forth. Especially in graphs or charts to show the numbers representing the other countries.
The Federation of American Scientists, for instance, provides a list of RoW missile systems, meaning missile systems belonging to nations other than the United States.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
