The Transhumanist Ascendancy of Alice Gardens is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Transcendent with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.017 billion Transhumans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipse Phase. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Transhuman economy, worth a remarkable 9,694 trillion Augmentations a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 372,611 Augmentations, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alice Gardens's national animal is the Exile, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Transhumanism.

Alice Gardens is ranked 255^th in the world and 15^th in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 89.58 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
