Alice in the Country of Hearts series originate from this country. The country has the unusual property of changing the time of day seemingly sporadically. The Country of Clover is the primary setting of "Alice in the Country of Clover", the sequel to the "Alice in the Country of Hearts", and the second Wonderland location introduced. While the game retains most of the characters from "Country of Hearts", the game removes Julius Monrey and Mary Gowland in favour of two new characters, Pierce Villiers and Gray Ringmarc. Nightmare and Joker, who also appeared in the Country of Hearts, have larger roles in the Country of Clover.
