The Sovereign State of Good Hope, also known as the United Stated of the Cape of Good Hope, is an unrecognised nation declared on 17 July 2018 by Khoebaha Calvin Cornelius III, the recognised head of the Royal House of the Khoisan Nation.According to the Sovereign State of Good Hope's official website, the goal of their newly founded nation was "to restore a state of dignity to those who are impoverished and suffering; to overhaul the education system in a way that teaches compassion and practical skills, whilst eradicating the lies, fabrications and misrepresentations from history. The Sovereign State of Good Hope intends to assist all people realise their fullest potential, and to live in a fair, just, peaceful, sustainable nation." The article also states that the Khoisan people, native to the Cape region, were marginalized and alienated by the current South African regime. "Despite extensive efforts to engage with the new Regime over restitution of historic wrongs arising from colonial and foreign invasions, the Khoisan have remained marginalised and alienated from the new Regimes’ circles of favour, consideration and benefit." The Sovereign State of Good Hope is roughly the same size as the Cape Republic, one of the biggest secessionist movements in South Africa.

Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad; [ˈkɑːpstat], Xhosa: iKapa), nicknamed the Mother City, is South Africa's oldest city. It serves as the country's legislative capital, being the seat of its Parliament. It is the country's second-largest city (after Johannesburg) and the largest in the Western Cape. The city is part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. The city is known for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, and for landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point. In 2014, Cape Town was named the best place in the world to visit by both The New York Times and The Daily Telegraph.Located on the shore of Table Bay, the City Bowl area of Cape Town, is the oldest urban area in the Western Cape, with a significant cultural heritage. It was founded by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a supply station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the VOC Cape Colony, the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in southern Africa. The city has a long coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, which includes False Bay, and extends to the Hottentots Holland mountains in the East. The Table Mountain National Park is within the city boundaries and there are several other nature reserves and marine protected areas within and adjacent to the city, protecting the diverse terrestrial and marine natural environment.
