The Queendom of Alice Cartelet is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.315 billion Alice Carteletians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Alice Carteletian economy, worth 26.5 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 11,427 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, surveillance cameras are banned, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alice Cartelet's national animal is the mouse.

Alice Cartelet is ranked 79,914^th in the world and 1,158^th in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 362.91 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
