When do you capitalize something like (S)southern (R)region?
I need to know asap, what the official rule is for whether or not ;southern region' would be capitalized, as in, Southern Region, when used in the following context...
"Foundation X is a private non-profit organization that promotes the social well-being of the southern region of country X"
Thanks in advance for replies.

For example
Whales live in the southern oceans. (oceans in the sou
