[SADXA] ARLD028 The Republic of South Sudan Is Now a DXCC Entity

[Richard Solomon]

The Prefix has not been decided yet, they need to complete the
important stuff, like;

Admission to the UN
International Dialing Code
Add to US State Departments List
Decide on amount of Foreign Aid ...

You know, the really important stuff !!

My money though is on SS.
