“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, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Winterlady with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 42.798 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 1,056 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 24,678 chalices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Winterlady is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. 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 7,575^th in the world and 7^th in NationStates for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 18 valid endorsements.
