The Resolution-Printing Museum of Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ambassador Saverchenko-Colleti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.818 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, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Magecastle Embassy Complex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 610 trillion guineas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,761 guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,007,169 per year while the poor average 3,825, a ratio of 263 to 1.

The official government position is that "we didn't see nothin'", children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the news of budget cuts leaves a sour taste in Ice mouths, and prime picnicking sites are being paved over in the name of progress. Crime is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. 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.

Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is ranked 297,299^th in the world and 70^th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
