South Sonora, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Sonora (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Sonora Sur) is a state of Bajaría. It is the largest PSA in the Kingdom of Sierra in terms of total area and the 4th most populous PSA in the Kingdom. Located among the Western States of Bajaría, it shares land borders with the Bajarian state of Pacífico Norte to the west; the Sierran provinces of Imperial and Sonora, and the Sierran territory of West New Mexico to the north; the Mexican state of Chihuahua to the east; the Mexican state of Sinaloa to the south; and the Sea of Cortes along its western coast. It shares maritime borders with Pacífico Norte, Pacífico Sur, and Sinaloa within the Sea of Cortes. Its capital and largest city is Hermosillo. Other large cities in South Sonora include Ciudad Obregón, Guayamas, San Luis Río Colorado, Puerto Peñasco, and Nogales.

Government and politics

South Sonora is a state of Bajaría, which is classified as a PSA under Kingdom law. It is headed by the Lord Superintendent of South Sonora, who is the formal viceregal representative of the Queen. The Lord Superintendent is the territory's head of state, although their role and function is limited to largely ceremonial ones. They are appointed by the Queen and serve at Her Royal Majesty's pleasure. The head of government is the Governor, who is elected by their own peers from the Parliament of South Sonora based on confidence and supply.
