The Resolution-Printing Museum of Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.63 billion Icers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Magecastle Embassy Complex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 354 trillion guineas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 97,738 guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 651,264 per year while the poor average 5,575, a ratio of 116 to 1.

Magecastle Embassy Building A5's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Order of Klyprer.
