The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 41.39 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 1,014 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 24,516 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The treehouse in Porcupine Park is the tallest building in Kyupaa, refugees from other nations are flocking to Kyupaa's border, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and citizens are yearning to leave Kyupaa for the countries it sends aid to. 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 250,700^th in the world and 643^rd in NationStates for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 14.71 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
