Independence for Southern Sudan?

South Sudan votes on independence tomorrow. While I generally approve of smaller states, it remains to be seen whether this will have a beneficial effect in the region.

The problematic region of Darfur is not part of South Sudan.

Capital of South Sudan: Juba

Population of South Sudan: ~9 million

    Probably a good thing. Have you seen any maps of how the country will be spit up?
