'''Tupaq Yupanki III''' (''Sapan Inka Tupaq Yupanki''; born 13 May 1926) is the current {{wp|Sapa Inca|Sapa Inka}} of [[Kayahallpa]], having ascended to the throne some time after the death of his father, the previous Sapa Inka [[Titu Rimachi II]] in April 1959. Chosen according to {{wp|Sapa_Inca#Choosing_the_Inca|traditional Kayahallpan ascension procedures}}, he was the 7th eldest son and 12th eldest child of Titu Rimachi II. As the supreme head of Kayahallpa's theocratic, absolute monarchy, he rules by decree and is only held accountable by the divine. Typified as a traditionalist, he has largely continued the social policies of his predecessors while embracing limited economic reforms to diversify the economy. As no major armed conflicts have been waged against Kayahallpa's neighbors during his reign, the period is considered the most stable in Kayan history. At 95 years old, he is the longest-lived Sapa Inka to date. Most details on his personal life are poorly known but his health has likely worsened in recent years, given a decreased in attendance of public events. | '''Tupaq Yupanki III''' (''Sapan Inka Tupaq Yupanki''; born 13 May 1926) is the current {{wp|Sapa Inca|Sapa Inka}} of [[Kayahallpa]], having ascended to the throne some time after the death of his father, the previous Sapa Inka [[Titu Rimachi II]] in April 1959.
