South Sudan

South Sudan is a country located in East-Central Africa, officially known as the Republic of South Sudan. It gained independence from Sudan in 2011, becoming the world's youngest country. The capital and largest city of South Sudan is Juba.

South Sudan is a landlocked country bordered by Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya to the southeast, Uganda to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southwest, and the Central African Republic to the west. The country has a diverse geography, including the Sudd wetland, the White Nile, and various mountain ranges.

South Sudan is home to over 60 indigenous ethnic groups, with the largest being the Dinka, Nuer, and Bari. The official languages are English and Arabic, although there are over 60 other recognized languages.

The economy of South Sudan is largely dependent on oil exports, which account for over 95% of the country's export revenues. However, the country has struggled with political instability and conflict since gaining independence, which has had a significant impact on its economic development.

South Sudan has a tropical climate with wet and dry seasons. The country is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, and numerous bird species. The country's cultural heritage includes various traditional dances, music, and art forms, including the famous Dinka cattle dances.

South Sudan faces many challenges, including ongoing conflict, poverty, and a lack of infrastructure. However, there is hope that the country's vast natural resources, including its oil reserves and agricultural potential, can be harnessed for economic growth and development in the future.
