The Irish Czech Love Story of Once is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Taoiseach with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 19.669 billion Celts 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Oncean economy, worth a remarkable 5,626 trillion Love Songs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 286,064 Love Songs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,073,143 per year while the poor average 53,291, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Once's national animal is the Fiddle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Once is ranked 306,107th in the world and 792nd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
