The Incorporated States of OnceAgainInTheGame is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.864 billion OnceAgainInTheGameans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong OnceAgainInTheGamean economy, worth 769 trillion Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,492 Platinums, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. OnceAgainInTheGame's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

OnceAgainInTheGame is ranked 174,504^th in the world and 24^th in HC Metalurg for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 54.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
