The Southern Hemisphere rarely includes the Southern Ocean.
 In recent times however, countries such as Australia have made greater efforts to economically engage with those from their own hemisphere
The most widespread religions in the modern Southern Hemisphere are Christianity in South America, Africa, Australia, Oceania, and East Timor, followed by Islam in East Africa and Indonesia, and Hinduism, which is mostly concentrated on/around the islands of Bali, Mauritius, and Fiji
