The Dangerous Woman of Harlot End is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 9.252 billion Harlot Endians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The strong Harlot Endian economy, worth 606 trillion totems a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,607 totems, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 336,331 per year while the poor average 7,017, a ratio of 47.9 to 1.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Harlot Endian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Wolf Dung" has been declared a national treasure, the nation is constantly threatened with invasion but at least homosexuality in the military isn't a problem, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harlot End's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Harlot End is ranked 145,819th in the world and 1,598th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
