The Republic of Kyupaa is a behemoth, genial nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 52.131 billion Kyupaans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 enormous but underdeveloped Kyupaan economy, worth a remarkable 8,811 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 an impressive 169,031 chalices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government airlifts sacrificial lambs, artists count down the years until the Winterlady is allowed to listen to their music, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, and famous artwork is regularly confiscated for plagiarism. 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 332,082^nd in the world and 777^th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -47.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
