The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 23.095 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivdisha. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Kyupaa, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyupaa's national animal is the porcupine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the chalice.

Kyupaa is ranked 6th in NationStates and 917th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 214 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
