The Republic of Kyupaa is a behemoth, genial nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 52.2 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 8,633 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 165,392 chalices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Famous artwork is regularly confiscated for plagiarism, cash-strapped Kyupaans scour their bodies for fortuitous zits, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. 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 44^th in the world and 1^st in NationStates for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 338.15 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
