Sorry if it's offtopic, but I'm preparing a translation for Habr, which provides economic statistics in the form of a graph that mentions such territories as: Asia / Pacific, USA, Europe, POW. So what is "POW"? Neither Google nor English-speaking colleagues could give me an answer to this question.
Searching for abbreviations somehow didn't help much either :(

Mistake in the original? Most likely ROW - Rest of World

According to Wiktionary , it means "country", "province", "region". In this context, the most likely meaning is "the rest of the world."

P.O.W. prisoner of war. Prisoner of war. So rather ROW.
