I’m really not sure how it’s aged otherwise, but the premise of Jennifer Government is built around a concept that is not-unlike your joke.

It’s cyber punk so basically the goverment has collapsed or been severely weakened and people take the last names of their Employer (e.g. Deacon Soros) and society has basically coalesced around these few Alliance Loyalty Programs; each with their own complicated agglomeration of corporate partnerships behind them, competing against each other much the way nation states do today.

I think the author eventually became better known for the online game he made, NationStates.
