History

Establishment

On 16 June 2022, Manggala Alif Prasetia founded what is now known as the Javanese state. Java, which was previously named the Sultanate of Javai, which was a constitutional monarchy however, the nation only lasted a couple weeks, following the dissolution of the Sultanate, Manggala Alif Prasetia decided to re-establish the micronation under the name of ‘’’Javanese State’’’, this state would be a micronation that promotes Javanese culture, tradition, music and food across the micronational community, Prasetia’s decision to make the micronation was due to the fact that he was of Javanese descent, and had strong cultural ties with the Javanese people.

Proclamation

On 17 June 2022, Prasetia held a proclamation, this proclamation would be known as the “Proclamation of Independence”. In the proclamation, Prasetia stated that the Javanese people have been disgraced through systemic injustice by the community of Indonesia and that he was tired of Javanese being unjustified. Prasetia later emphasized that the proclamation given was for “exaggeration purposes” and that he did not mean it literally. Java would later gain prominence for the proclamation. Following Java’s founding, the constitution which was created on 18 June 2022 and the foreign policy, created on 19 June 2022 had a very strong influence towards the micronation, this led to peace and stability in Java.

Culture

A traditional Javanese food

The culture of Java is similar to any Javanese culture, traditions and food. The Javanese culture is one of the oldest civilizations and has flourished in Indonesia. It has gradually absorbed various elements and influences from other cultures, including native reverence for ancestral and natural spirits, Hindu and Buddhist dharmic civilization, Islamic values, and to a lesser extent, Christianity, Western philosophy and modern ideas.

Javanese cuisine and culture play an important role in rice, which is a staple food on the island. Among the Javanese it is considered not to be a meal if a person hasn't eaten rice yet. It is also an important part of identity that differentiate Javanese with foreigners that eat bread (the Europeans) and residents of other islands who eat sago (for example Moluccans). Rice is also a symbol of development and prosperity, while cassava and tuber is associated with poverty.
