Όνομα: Νότιο Σουδάν = South Sudan
Πρωτεύουσα: Τζούμπα = Juba
Επίσημη γλώσσα: Αγγλική (αλλά οι πιο πολλοί μιλούν διάφορες αραβικές διαλέκτους)
Πολίτευμα: Προεδρική Δημοκρατία = Federal presidential democratic republic
Έκταση: 619.745 τ.χλμ.

Για τα κουίζ: Το Σουδάν δεν είναι πια η μεγαλύτερη σε έκταση χώρα της Αφρικής. Μετά την ανεξαρτητοποίηση του Νότιου Σουδάν, το Σουδάν έπεσε στην τρίτη θέση. Την πρώτη θέση καταλαμβάνει τώρα η Αλγερία (επίσης μεγαλύτερη της Μεσογείου και του Αραβικού κόσμου — 10η μεγαλύτερη στον κόσμο) και τη δεύτερη η Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία του Κονγκό.

BBC News: South Sudan becomes an independent nation

South Sudan has become the world's newest nation, the climax of a process made possible by the 2005 peace deal that ended a long and bloody civil war.

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon are among international dignitaries attending celebrations in the capital, Juba.

Sudan earlier became the first state to officially recognise its new neighbour.

The south's independence follows decades of conflict with the north in which some 1.5 million people died.

South Sudan became the 193rd country recognised by the UN and the 54th UN member state in Africa.

[...]

The new country is rich in oil, but one of the least developed countries in the world, where one in seven children dies before the age of five.

Facts and figures:

Population: 7.5-9.7 million
Size: 619,745 sq km (239,285 sq miles), larger than Spain and Portugal combined
Major languages: English, Arabic (both official), Juba Arabic, Dinka
Religion: Traditional and a Christian minority
Main export: Oil

Challenges ahead:

One of world's least developed countries: Worst maternal mortality rate; most children below 13 not in school; 84% of women are illiterate
Relations with Sudan: Dividing debts and oil; border disputes; citizenship
Security: At least seven active rebel groups

Ας προσθέσουμε και τη σημαία του:



The flag of South Sudan was adopted following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the Second Sudanese Civil War. The flag was previously used as the flag of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement.

The flag is similar to the flag of Kenya with the addition of a blue triangle and gold star at the hoist. The colours are said to represent the South Sudanese people (black), peace (white), the blood shed for freedom (red), the land (green) and the waters of the Nile (blue); the gold star, the Star of Bethlehem, represents unity of the states of South Sudan.​
