Countries of Southern Africa (World)

This group collects the 5 sovereign states and territories that the atlas's own country entities already record, through each country's own SubLabel field (set when the country itself was minted and sourced), as sitting in the United Nations M49 geoscheme's Southern Africa intermediate region. It is a single flat group under the Southern Africa subcategory, not split further by any smaller unit, since Southern Africa stays well under the atlas's own hundred-member threshold for a further split. It sits directly under the Southern Africa subcategory and under the atlas's own Groups category, giving a reader a direct browse path from either the Southern Africa subcategory page or the Groups index.
