I thought the question of whether the Commonwealth was in the Southern
Hemisphere or not was settled. It is in the Southern Hemisphere, and there's
no doubt about it. In addition to the points made by Mitchell Bailey and the
observations of Mark Millman, it is clearly stated in chapter XXV of
CITADEL, while the old autarch and Sev are in the flier, just before the
crash. Sev tells the autarch what little he knows of the Ascians, that
"...they live to the north in the hot countries, and that they're..." The
autarch corrects him: "Half  what you said of them was incorrect. They do
not come from the hot countries of the north [i.e., near the equator], but
from the continent that lies across the equator." Sorry, alga, but there it
is.
