My first three letters are a downside or scheme Letters four to seven are one copper piece My last six are a permitted fixed amount to eat But altogether, you're probably in a state of me right now.

I can be broken down to, but can't be broken myself. I'm associated with leaders, transformers and examples.

I am born of coldness, die into frost, yet in the middle, heat and life resides. I am counted, divided, yet whole, And return again, eternal as tides

Upon a field of mirrored lands, Two nations wait at mind’s commands. The throne is lost when rulers fall, Yet blood is never shed at all.

I'm infinitely big yet take up no space. You might cross me if you make a mistake.
