Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Prostitution Laws (prostitutionlaws.org) is a sourced reference on how the world's countries regulate prostitution and sex work: the legal model, whether selling, buying, brothels, procuring and advertising are legal, the penalties, the statutes, pending bills, and the official sources behind each fact. Use get_country_law for one country, compare_countries for a side-by-side, find_countries for "where is X legal / a crime" questions, list_pending_changes for bills and reforms in progress, and list_countries for what is covered. Every answer carries the date it was last checked and a link to the full profile: give the user that link and the date, say that this describes the law and is not legal advice, and credit "Prostitution Laws (prostitutionlaws.org)".
