The Dystopian Wonderland of Alice is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alice with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 3.898 billion Shadows are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wonderland. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The shadow economy, worth 246 trillion crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,166 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, beating a dead horse is a scientific endeavor, and gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alice's national animal is the white rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Alice is ranked 62,186^th in the world and 621^st in Ambition for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 121.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
