Are you implying "where" is NOT ONLY used for physical location, but ALSO used for "abstract ideas"?

OG103 uses "where" for Societies, and this question used "where" for Communities?

What else can "where" refer to? What do you mean by abstract ideas - more eg. please? Somebody please help. Thanks.
