The Resolution-Printing Offices of Magecastle Embassy Building A5 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Robert Desak with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.411 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 Southport City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 717 trillion guineas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 132,556 guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,003,169 per year while the poor average 4,924, a ratio of 203 to 1.

War criminals are given full state funerals, oracles predict landslide victories for Robert Desak for the next 50 years, concussed eagleball players cannot remember their lineup position, and people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled. 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 330,922^nd in the world and 1,478^th in Europe for Most Pacifist, with 4.13 cheeks turned per day.
