The Republic of South Africa, also known as RSA, is the southernmost country in the continent. It is one of the most important nations in Africa and in the entire world, being the 24th-most populous nation. Due to its large size, it does not have high density numbers. Interestingly, RSA has three different capital cities. The executive one is Pretoria, the judicial is Bloemfontein, and the legislative is Cape Town. Interestingly, these are not the largest - Johannesburg is the one with the largest population.
