global
Across all nations
Global means relating to the entire world or affecting all parts of something.
A global economy spans nations; a global pandemic spreads worldwide.
In computing, a global variable is accessible throughout an entire program, not limited to one section.
Global can also mean comprehensive or all-encompassing: We need a global solution that addresses every aspect of the problem.
