The Dark Forest of Javan Tribes is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Dark Forest with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.725 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 1,407 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 245,885 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,256,116 per year while the poor average 2,818, a ratio of 800 to 1.

The right to counsel goes both ways, today's secret ingredients are blood, sweat, and tears, businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching, and an increasing number of knights in shining armor suffer from PTSD. 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 294,947th in the world and 2nd in Hyperbolic Time Chamber for Most Cultured, scoring 50 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
