The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 39.37 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 965 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 24,522 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves. 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 229,573^rd in the world and 458^th in NationStates for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -18.44 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
