The Kingdom of Noord-Kaap is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The quiet, industrious population of 2.643 billion Noord-Kaapians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Noord-Kaapian economy, worth 124 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,087 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noord-Kaap's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Noord-Kaap is ranked 226,947^th in the world and 9,753^rd in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 241.12 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
