South Jungju is the south region of the Jungju continent, which is defined in both geographical and ethno-cultural terms. There are many modern states location in the region, such as Lomtai, Van Xuan, Samanohuwa, and Kewhira. South Jungju encompases all of continental south Jungju, as well as the Gara Archipelago and islands of varying size which lie off of the mainland's coast. Central Jungju borders the region to the north, the Southern Ocean to the south.

Van Xuanese civilization is regarded as one of the earliest cradles of civilization in south Jungju. Other ancient civilization in south Jungju that still exist today are Lomtai, Wa Muong, Samanohuwa and Kewhira. Other South Jungjuan civilizations that have existed in the past have since been absorbed into existing nations of the modern day; examples being Kamboja, Yangon, Thimphu, and Pokhara. Historically, South Jungjuan societies have fallen under the Sinjuan sphere of influence. Van Xuan has historically been heavily influenced by Sinju, and as such has exported elements of Sinjuan cultures to its neighbors.

The region lies near the intersection of geological plates, with both heavy seismic and volcanic activities. The mountain ranges in Suwannaphum, Lomtai, Ratanakiri, and Kauthara are part of the Kandar Belt, while the islands of Samanohuwa are part of the ring of fire. Both seismic belts meet in Thrumbo, causing the region to have relatively high occurrences of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

South Jungju covers an approximate X miles which accounts for X percent of the entire continent. The region has a population of 1.8 billion people who all account for a third of the world's entire population. It is the second most populous region in Jungju after North Jungju. South Jungju is quite culturally diverse, with an estimated 569 hundred languages being spoken by dozens of different ethnic groups all located across the region. Seventeen countries in South Jungju are members of the Association of South Jungjuan Nations (ASJN), a regional organization established for economic, political, military, educational and cultural integration amongst its members.

=Geography and Climate=

Geography
South Jungju is divided into two subregions, namely Mainland South Jungju and Maritime South Jungju, commonly referred to as Jayakarta.

Geographically, the islands of Malu'i, Kealakekua and Igyeongdo are considered a part of Maritime South Jungju. South Jungju is largely occupied by lush and, as well as  on the coast. The largest rainforest in Jungju is Muang Xai which occupies a large majority of central and eastern Lomtai, northwest Ratanakiri, western Wa Muong, and northeast Suwannaphum. Muong Xai rainforest covers an approximate 2.058 square miles.

Maritime South Jungju is comprised of an estimated 11,789,620 islands, which are all located in the South Ocean. The smallest island nation in Maritime South Jungju is Sarigan.

Maritime South Jungju is largely occupied by volcanoes and mountains, such as Kinabulu Mountain in Latog.

Climate
The climate in South Jungju is mainly tropical–hot and humid all year round with plentiful rainfall. Northern Van Xuan and the mountainous parts of Ratankiri and Wa Muong are the only regions in South Jungju that feature a subtropical climate, which have a cooler winter with potential snow. The majority of South Jungju has a wet and dry season caused by seasonal shift in winds or monsoon. The tropical rain belt causes additional rainfall during the monsoon season. An exception to this type of climate and vegetation is the mountain areas in the northern region, where high altitudes lead to milder temperatures and drier landscape. Other parts fall out of this climate because they are desert-like.

South Jungju is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the world. Climate change will have a big effect on agriculture in South Jungju such as irrigation systems will be affected by changes in rainfall and runoff, and subsequently, water quality and supply. Climate change is also likely to pose a serious threat to the fisheries industry in South Jungju.
