South Africa is appropriately located at the southern tip of Africa. With a rather generous population of 56 million people, this country is nothing to be scoffed at. Despite being a quite sizeable distance from the equator the climate is relativity warm with hot summers and cool winters. The country is dotted with rugged hills, plateaus and coastal plains.

Cape town, one of South Africa's three capitals.

Extensive water shortages and droughts similar to the seemingly random droughts of California. A quite huge country with a total land area of 1.2m kilometers. Pollution from larger cities such as Cape Town litters bodies of water and causes acid rain. Seasons blend together and most plants are evergreens.
