The State of Java Addict is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 34.511 billion Java Addictians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Java Addictian economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,897 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is famous for having one of the world's largest deer hunting institutions, the government is avowedly atheist, the government is reining in public spending, and Java Addict has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Java Addict's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Java Addict is ranked 205,135^th in the world and 17^th in Baba Yaga for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
