The Dark Forest of Javan Tribes is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Dark Forest with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.758 billion Javanese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Javanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 247,247 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,268,615 per year while the poor average 2,834, a ratio of 800 to 1.

Fair play is a sportsbook refusing to pay what it owes, the government defends a woman's right to choose, suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, and artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Javan Tribes's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Voracious Human Nature.

Javan Tribes is ranked 319,441st in the world and 2nd in Hyperbolic Time Chamber for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -25.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
