The Thanksgiving Anthem of Alices Restaurant is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alice with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 21.183 billion Hungry Hippies live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockbridge MA. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Alices Restaurantian economy, worth a remarkable 5,731 trillion Blue Plate Specials a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 270,577 Blue Plate Specials, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

The country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the media seems excessively interested in what Alice is wearing this season, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alices Restaurant's national animal is the Thanksgiving Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Alices Restaurant is ranked 11,252nd in the world and 199th in NationStates for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 384.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
