The Republic of Kyupaa

“O, Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Kyupaa is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 40.446 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 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 990 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 24,493 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Superfoods are often seen as supervillains, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. 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 114^th in the world and 1^st in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 258.83 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
