Occident

Occident: The part of the world lying west (or east) of the Orient. It is largely inhabited by Christians, a powerful sub-tribe of the Hypocrites, whose principal industries are murder and cheating, which they are pleased to call 'war' and 'commerce.' These, also, are the principal industries of the Orient.
--Ambrose Bierce (1842-1913) American Author, Editor, Journalist
(From The Devil's Dictionary]
