The Community of Cape Coraline is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 444 million Cape Coralineans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Administration, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.1%.

The Cape Coralinean economy, worth 22.1 trillion secret doors a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,815 secret doors, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Historical fiction has been banned, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, companies are turning to trained nameless cats for their most menial jobs, and Cape Coraline has designated Cape Coraline City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Cape Coraline's national animal is the nameless cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cape Coraline is ranked 74,338^th in the world and 7^th in Florida for Most Primitive, scoring 20 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
