The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 45.772 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 1,137 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 24,843 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Kyupaan justice, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. 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 292,430^th in the world and 820^th in NationStates for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -65.45 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
