Chief among them is the delegation of power and authority to various regional entities while remaining a unitary state. The Head of the Javenese State is the head of state and head of government, commander-in-chief of the Javanese National Armed Forces (Tentara Nasional Jawa, TNJ), and the director of domestic governance, policy-making, and foreign affairs. The president may serve a maximum of two consecutive one-year terms.
The highest representative body at the national level is the Parliament. Its main functions are supporting and amending the constitution, inaugurating and impeaching the president, and formalizing broad outlines of state policy. The Parliament comprises 3 members. It passes legislation and monitors the executive branch. Reforms since 2022 have markedly increased its role in national governance and matters of regional management.
Law and Order
Most civil disputes appear before the The Supreme Court of Java (Mahkamah Agung), which is also the highest level of the judicial branch and hears final cessation appeals and conducts case reviews. Furthermore, the court listens to constitutional and political matters, and deals with codified Islamic Law (sharia) cases. Additionally, the Judicial Commission (Komisi Yudisial) monitors the performance of judges.

Culture
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.
Tradition
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.
