The Southern African regions are part of the Africa super-region. The nations in these regions are mainly divided into 2 main separate areas, the central inner lands and the eastern coast and the island, allowing nations in each area to try and become a local power uninterrupted before dealing with any other threat. This is especially true for inner Africa which can remain untouched by Europe well into the mid-late game. Since Fetishist Fetishism is the dominant religion in these parts, nations from one main area quick to interact with nations from the other main area will be able to double their available cults and get a bit of an advantage over their immediate neighbors.

There are many uncolonized provinces along the southern coast for outside forces - such as the European powers - to use as a stepping stone to get to Asia before turning the focus onto Africa itself. There are also uncolonized provinces acting as a divider between the aforementioned main areas which can be colonized, although it would be done at a rather great cost due to high native aggressiveness and ferocity. Controlling the trade nodes in the inner regions ensures the flow of money into Europe from its African holdings. Getting a hold of the eastern coast lines and diverting the trade coming from India will also help in obtaining the rich Asian trade.

The break-down of the Southern African regions is as follows:

Government types

  • Government tribal.png Tribal government forms are the dominant type in these parts (split mostly between Tribal Monarchy and Tribal Despotism). Some nations in the east are sultanates.

Religions

  • Fetishist Fetishist is the dominant religion in these parts at the 1444 start.
  • Sunni Islam Sunni is present in the eastern part (with a bit of Ibadi Islam Ibadi).

Technology groups

  • Central African technology group Central African is the dominant tech group in these parts.
  • East African technology group East African in the eastern part.

Culture groups

  • Great Lakes in the northern part.
  • Congo in the western and central parts.
  • East Bantu and Southern African in the eastern part.
