The Kingdom of Noland is a fictional region neighboring the Land of Oz. Its capital is Nole and it is ruled by the boy King Bud. Bud, the orphaned son of a fisherman (whose name is not know), is often aided by his sister, Fluff. It was Fluff who received the magic cloak (a garmet which is able to grant each wearer one wish) from the fairies.

Noland was once attacked by Queen Zixi of Ix, who wished to obtain the magic cloak. The army of Ix was defeated when one of King Bud's royal councellors used the cloak to wish that the army of Ix would be driven from the land. Bud subsequently used the cloak to wish he would become Noland's best ruler.

Noland is ruled by an absolute monarch, whose word is law. If the monarch is away, his councelors are to consult to the Book of the Law for guidance. If the king dies, the 47th person to enter the gates of Nole is to be the new king or queen. Although Noland is located in the same vicinity as Oz and other magical countries, magic is relatively uncommon there, judging by the characters' stunned reactions to the magic cloak's powers.

Noland is one of the locations where Queen Zixi of Ix and the movie (The Magic Cloak of Oz) take place. Zixi, Bud, and Fluff attended Ozma's birthday party in The Road to Oz.
