Ingary

Ingary is the name of the country and setting in the film, Howl's Moving Castle. Its capital is located in Kingsbury, and some of its major cities include Market Chipping and Porthaven. 
==Background==
The country is a constitutional monarchy, ruled by a prime minister but reigned over by a king. In addition to the prime minister, the kingdom's cabinet included a minister of defense. Despite the kingdom's reliance on steam-powered technology for civilian and military use, they continue to employ wizards, all serving under a powerful sorceress named Suliman.
The nation is at war with a neighboring kingdom. This enthusiasm for war eventually turns to despair as damaged battleships return to harbor, and enemy propaganda flyers fill the sky. A protest is seen below in Kingsbury while Sophie and Howl escape the palace.
It becomes clear that the steam-powered weapons of Ingary are no match for the magic wielded by their enemies. Civilians are evacuated as the enemy bombings reach the inner cities. The war reaches an abrupt end as the neighboring kingdom's prince and Suliman reach an accord.
