Mister Micawber1.Alabama is west of Georgia.3.Alabama is to the west of Georgia.
Any difference between them? Do they have to share the same border?
What about two places that are not adjacent. For example, two countries that are separated by a river, or by the sea.

China is west of Japan.
China is to the west of Japan.

Those are okay, as well. If you need to specify if they are adjacent or not, additions can be made. "far to the west of", "immediately to the west of", or something like that.
