Citizens of Jovak Helm strive to be in tune with its natural environment. In fact, the preservation of natural environments was an original goal of Jovak Helm, as described in its Declaration of Independence. Due to Jovak Helm's diverse and scattered array of territories, it is very difficult to draw general conclusions about its ecology. We can say the following: for the most part, Jovak Helm is uninhabited. It has approximately 100 indigenous humans living within its territory. It is volcanic and mountainous in parts. Elsewhere it is treeless, and much like a tundra. It is sometimes best described as a wetland. Jovak Helm boasts a sizeable portion of the world’s Red-faced Cormorants and Tufted Puffins. It also houses flamingoes, black-necked swans, and herons. Jovak Helm is a Ramsar Convention site.
Of course the most important animal in Jovak Helm is the Ptarmigan. Agattu Island, one of the four realms of Jovak Helm, historically was a haven for the rare ptarmigan. Foxes introduced to the island to promote the fur trade in 70 B.R. killed off the ptarmigan population. The U.S.S. Tiglax triumphantly returned ptarmigan to Agattu Island from nearby islands, perhaps including Attu, in 6 B.R. However we cannot just forget the past. Jovak Helm declared independence in part because of the atrocious handling of the ptarmigan situation. We now honor the lost ptarmigan with our most prized order of Chivalry, the Most Celebrated Order of the Azure Ptarmigan.
One time, a bear swam to Ruhnu from a nearby island. The incident was deemed so noteworthy that a Latvian chocolatier created a large chocolate bear which was given to the indigenous people of Ruhnu.
