South Sudan, Landlocked country in East Africa
The territory of South Sudan spans across extensive grasslands, wetlands, and the White Nile River basin, covering an area of 644,329 square kilometers.
The establishment of South Sudan in 2011 marked the conclusion of Africa's longest civil war, resulting in the division of the former unified Sudan.
Within South Sudan's borders, more than 60 distinct ethnic groups maintain their languages, traditional practices, and community structures through generations.
The nation relies substantially on oil production for its revenue, with petroleum accounting for 90 percent of the national income and exports.
The Sudd wetland in South Sudan forms one of Earth's largest swamps, extending over 30,000 square kilometers during the wet season.
