The Republic of Cape of Narmer is a small, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 40 million Cape of Narmerians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The strong Cape of Narmerian economy, worth 2.72 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 68,041 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 243,258 per year while the poor average 13,667, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

The military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, a whispered 'that's not very nice' is a teacher's toughest weapon, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Cape of Narmer's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cape of Narmer is ranked 248,578^th in the world and 30^th in Organization of Mediterranean States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 28.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
