The A.A.O.A.A. — the Anti-Anti-O.N.A.N. Activities' Agency; the "Canadian Problem"

texture · YDAU-era standing structure

• When: UNDATED — a standing O.U.S. division; the assignment paying Steeply's YDAU salary
• What: Within O.U.S. sits its "most elite and least specific division," the A.A.O.A.A. (the "U.S.O.U.S. Anti-Anti-O.N.A.N. Activities' Agency," as scene 107 expands it), whose special province is "the U.S.'s Canadian Problem" — the possibility of Québécois/Canadian involvement in disseminating the Entertainment. It funds Steeply's current field-assignment, routing his checks and garnished alimony through a front, the "Foundation for Continental Freedom" (n229). The A.A.O.A.A. is the concrete arm that runs the samizdat counter-operation.
