The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Winterlady with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 36.394 billion Kyupaans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large 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 887 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 24,387 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. 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 262^nd in the world and 2^nd in NationStates for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 188 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
