Republic of South Africa (SWM)

The Republic of South Africa (commonly South Africa) is a country located in Southern Africa. It is bordered by Angola and Zambia to the north of the entire country, Botswana to the east of the Province of Southwest Africa, Zimbabwe north of Transvaal and Swaziland and Mozambique to the east. Bophuthatswana, Bushmanland, Ciskei, Damaraland, Gazankulu, Hereroland, KaNgwane, KwaNdebele, Kaokoland, Kavangoland, KwaZulu, Lebowa, Lesotho, Namaland, Ovamboland, QwaQwa, Rehoboth, Transkei, Tswanaland and Venda are all sovereign enclaves of South Africa, however, are all considered puppets of Pretoria. It has 4,367 kilometers of coastline. Its population is divided into citizens, which is an almost exclusive group for whites, and civilians, which is bestowed upon all other races permanently living in the country.

South Africa is unique in the world for its system of racial segregation, known officially as "Apartheid" (which translates to apartness in English). Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond. It was officially adopted in the 1948 general election, during which time South Africa was still a British dominion. Blacks have no political representation within the country, as their political affairs and future are considered to be part of the independent enclaves of South Africa (commonly known as Bantustans). Indians and people of mixed racial origin, known as "coloreds", have minimal political representation. Although the vast majority of the world has condemned Apartheid and is still enforcing strict sanctions on South Africa because of it, the ruling white minority has always justified it simply as "a system of good neighborliness" and "separate but equal," although evidence to the contrary is obvious.

The country has a unique system of a multicameral sovereign Parliament, known popularly as the Multicameral Parliament. Parliament consists of three race-based houses, namely the most powerful House of Assembly for whites, the House of Representatives for coloreds, and the House of Delegates for Indians. Furthermore, the fourth house of Parliament is known as the President's Council, tasked with resolving disputes between the race-based houses and acting as the liaison with the executive branch of government. The State President is the head of the executive and widely considered to be the most powerful office in South Africa by means of the President's Council. The current State President is Cobus Grobler.
