The Dictatorship of DE END is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 117 million DE ENDians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving DE ENDian economy, worth 8.76 trillion ender pearls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 74,833 ender pearls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 334,502 per year while the poor average 10,383, a ratio of 32.2 to 1.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels, and parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. DE END's national animal is the Ender mite, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

DE END is ranked 93,863^rd in the world and 20^th in The waters for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,488.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
