D'accord. J'ai trouvé une réponse web qui rejoint votre idée:




"South (and also North, East and West) are precise definitions. For 
example, the border between South Korea and North Korea is very exact. 
South Carolina and North Carolina are two different states, with a line 
separating them.

Southern, northern and so on usually describe a more vague geographical 
area. The term  'southern France' , for example, loosely refers to the 
area starting somewhere in the middle of the country and heading 
southwards. Different people may have different interpretations of 
where an area described as 'southern France' might begin.

NB The terms Southern and Northern Hemisphere may be seen as an 
exception."
