The Resolution-Printing Offices of Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ambassador Spencer Hemming with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.576 billion Ice WA Mission Staff 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, 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 15.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 236 trillion guineas a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 91,802 guineas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 387,890 per year while the poor average 14,057, a ratio of 27.6 to 1.

The government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, and it is firmly believed that cameras steal souls. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 284,308^th in the world and 7,031^st in The North Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.42 bananas ingested per day.
