J, as in JEOPARDY.
Or J, as in JAPAN, where social unrest appears to be unlikely, anytime soon.

| I show you a not-so-concordant MAXIMUM CARD from JAPAN: the stamp shows The SIKA DEER (Cervus nippon yesoensis) [I think], but the Portuguese postcard shows The RED DEER (Cervus elaphus). |
"Taxonomy
The Sika Deer is a member of the genus Cervus, a group of deer also known as the "true deer".[citation needed] Formerly Sika were grouped together in this genus with nine other species. Now, only the Sika and Red Deer remain, the latter being divided into three separate species European Red Deer, Central Asian Red Deer and American Elk (though this remains controversial [3]) This is because recent DNA evidence indicates that these deer are not as closely related as previously thought resulting in the creation of new species and genera. The genera Rucervus, Rusa, and Przewalskium are where most of the former Cervus species now belong. The ancestor of all Cervus probably originated in Central Asia and resembled Sika Deer.[4] All Cervus species can crossbreed and produce hybrids in areas where they co-exist (for example introduced Sika hybridize with native Red Deer in the Highlands of Scotland were this is a serious threat to the gene pool of the red deer population)."
A deer is rarely resting.
"Social unrest" seems the norm in a group of deer.
J, as in JEOPARDY, or JAPAN, for example.
