The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 41.536 billion Kyupaans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivdisha. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but stagnant Kyupaan economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion chalices a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,529 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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.

Kyupaa is ranked 10^th in the world and 1^st in NationStates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 16,941.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
