The Cape, officially the Federacy of the Cape, is the easternmost country in Crona. It is bordered on the north, east, and south by the Odeneru Ocean and the Cathay Ocean. It covers __km2 and has a population of over 127 million people, largely concentrated in its namesake Cape Peninsula. The capital and largest city is Cape Town, which anchors the largest metropolitan area on the continent. It is comprised of seven provinces.
For thousands of years the Cape was home to various indigenous peoples, however, beginning in the 1600s, Cartadanian and Kiravian explorers began to settle the eastern coast of the country. A variety of independence movements and conflicts would mar the expanding colonies and dominions throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Following a multiethnic war of independence led by Melvyn Kalma and the nascent Republican Nationalist Party, the nation gained independence as the first democracy on the continent proper of Crona in 1871. As a result the Cape today is a multiethnic and multicultural society, with a majority of the population having mixed ancestry between the country's three primary ethnic groups, Kiravian, Cartadanian, and Cronan.
The Cape is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic, with a non-executive president as head of state and a Prime Executive leading the government and holding the confidence of the National Stanera. Since independence, the country has been led consistently by the dominant Republican Nationalist Party and its Restarkist ideology. Since the 2021 Cape coup d'état, the nation's presidency has been occupied by the Armed Forces Council until the 2024 elections. The Cape is a member of numerous international organizations such as the League of Nations.
It is a regional power with a growing economy and a highly developed market. The economy, although traditionally fuelled by the state-led exploitation of natural resources, manufacturing, and international shipping, has grown significantly in the service sector during the past two decades. Cape Town and its environs continues to rank as one of the most important Cronan urban areas, home to the continent's largest stock and commodity exchanges by market capitalization. The nation has high levels of economic freedom yet maintains numerous state-provided social services.
Etymology
The Cape is named after the Cape Peninsula and its landmark Cape of the Segunda Cabeça. As a great cape seen as the final waypoint between the Odeneru and the Cathay, sailors and settlers began to refer it as simply "the Cape". The name stuck, and the Kiravian colony that would be eventually founded there took on the name Axerka Kesta (literally "cape colony"). Over the decades, the name came to become the regional designator for the colonies and states of far southern Crona. When those states were federated and granted independence, the Federacy of the Cape was the name chosen.
The Cape is one of a handful of countries in which the definite article is used in its English-language name, other than cases in which the name is plural or includes the form of government. The article is used by the nation's government and international authorities, and has entered into common colloquial use when referring to the country.
