...reigns supreme. There, candelabra are held by human hands protruding from the walls, a magical mirror contains the visage of a beloved and an enchanted white steed roams the halls. The palace in the midst of the dark woods is a creation straight out of the work of Gustave Dore.

Its foreign policy has been contradictory. Peres proposed swapping land for peace; Shamir insisted on both peace and territory.
