Capitalize North, South, East, and West when contained in the name of a place (state, country, etc.) but not when used for giving directions.

Correct Examples:

We are planning a vacation in South Africa.

Incorrect Examples:

She lives in Southern Europe. SHOULD BE She lives in southern Europe.

I'm going to visit my friends in Eastern Oregon. SHOULD BE I'm going to visit my friends in eastern Oregon.
