The Resolution-Printing Museum of Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.904 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 12.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 399 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 an impressive 102,415 guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 699,144 per year while the poor average 5,435, a ratio of 128 to 1.

It is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, the criminal underworld is dominated by cupcake smugglers and back-alley doughnut shops, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. 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.
