==Status==

With the annexation of [[Drak-Modan]] by [[Shireroth]] in {{AN|1699}}, [[Sanama]], by then itself enmired in a civil war of its own, declared that it considered the organisation to be defunct.

For the [[Unified Governorates]] the impetus for [[Benacia]]n federalism which had drawn it into the South Benacian Community in the first instance was now largely fulfilled by its membership of the [[Benacian Union]] alongside [[Elluenuueq]] since the conclusion of the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]]. Nonetheless, the [[High Presidium of the Benacian Union]] directed the Civil Executive of the UGB to maintain its membership of the SBC so as to better facilitate and coordinate economic, political, and security activities in neighbouring fellow member [[Tellia]].

==Institutions==
The organisation is governed by the Council of the Community, consisting of the head of government or state of each member nation, or their appointed representative. Decisions in the council are taken unanimously, the South Benacian Community is not a supranational organisation.

==Features==
===Customs union===
The member nations have established a customs union for goods. All tariffs and fees between the member nations have been abolished and the same tariffs are applied toward third countries.

===Free trade area===
The members have established a free trade area for goods, and are working towards harmonising rules and regulations. Spot checks are still allowed on internal borders in order to combat trade and transport of illicit goods. What constitutes illicit goods are still decided by each member nation.
