North Queensland or Capricornia is a proposed state of Australia, to be formed out of the current state of Queensland. The proposal does not have the support of the two major political parties that dominate politics in Queensland, though it has been advocated by Katter's Australian Party (KAP), a minor party with a large presence in North Queensland.
