Quoted from the official Wikipedia page:
Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia, straddling the equator and located between the Asian and Oceanian continents, making it known as a transcontinental country, as well as between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Indonesia is the 14th largest country in the world and the largest archipelagic country, with a total area of 1,904,569 km². It is also the sixth most populous country in the world, with 17,504 islands. The alternative name for the Indonesian archipelago is Nusantara. Furthermore, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, with a population of 277,749,853 in 2022, and the second most populous Muslim country in the world after Pakistan, with more than 238,875,159 adherents, or approximately 86.9%. Indonesia is a multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural country, much like the United States.
Indonesia shares land borders with several countries in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia shares land borders with Malaysia on the islands of Kalimantan and Sebatik, with Papua New Guinea on the island of Papua, and with Timor Leste on the island of Timor. The only countries with maritime borders with Indonesia are Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Palau, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.
Indonesia is a unitary state with a republican form of government based on a valid constitution, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). Based on the 1945 Constitution, the People's Representative Council (DPR), the Regional Representative Council (DPD), and the President are nominated and elected in general elections.
The current capital of Indonesia is Jakarta. On January 18, 2022, the Indonesian government designated the new capital city of the archipelago, located on the island of Kalimantan, in the Penajam Paser Utara Regency. As of 2022, the capital city transition process is still ongoing.
Indonesian history has been heavily influenced by immigrants and colonialists. The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trading region since the 7th century, with the founding of Srivijaya, a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom centered in Palembang. The Srivijaya Empire established religious and trade relations with China, India, and Arabia. Hinduism and Buddhism grew, developed, and assimilated in the Indonesian archipelago from the early 4th to the 13th centuries CE. Afterward, traders and scholars from the Arabian Peninsula brought Islamic religion and culture from the 8th to the 16th centuries. At the end of the 15th century, European nations arrived in the Indonesian archipelago and fought for a monopoly on the spice trade in Maluku during the Age of Discovery. After being under Dutch colonial rule, Indonesia, then known as the Dutch East Indies, proclaimed its independence at the end of World War II, on August 17, 1945. Subsequently, Indonesia faced various challenges and significant problems, including natural disasters, widespread corruption, social conflict, separatist movements, democratization, and a period of rapid development, socio-economic-political change and development, as well as rapid modernization.
Indonesia comprises a diverse range of ethnic groups, languages, and religions. Based on ethnicity, Indonesia is comprised of indigenous Austronesian and Melanesian peoples, with the Austronesian being the largest and predominantly inhabiting western Indonesia. The Javanese and Sundanese constitute the largest ethnic group, accounting for 57% of the total population. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Unity in Diversity), signifies the socio-cultural diversity that forms a unified nation. In addition to its dense population and vast territory, Indonesia boasts a natural environment that supports the second-highest level of biodiversity in the world.
Indonesia is a member of the United Nations (UN), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the Asian-African Conference (KAA), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the G20.
