The Empire of The Cape of Good Fortune is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.516 billion Fortuneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortunea. The average income tax rate is 79.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fortunean economy, worth 840 trillion Fortunean pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 239,096 Fortunean pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, and the atmosphere in Fortunean boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cape of Good Fortune's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Cape of Good Fortune is ranked 31,578^th in the world and 12^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Influential, scoring 1,359 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
