The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 38.754 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 large but stagnant Kyupaan economy, worth 951 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 24,551 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, the new hit series "Kyupaa's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and the nation is known as the cheapskates of NationStates. 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 44,453^rd in the world and 318^th in NationStates for Most Developed, scoring 65.97 on the Human Development Index.
