Indonesia: Get Acquainted
Indonesia is a Southeast Asian archipelagic nation stretching across over 17,000 islands between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with a land area spanning from Sumatra and Kalimantan to Sulawesi, Java, and Papua. It is a presidential republic, and as of mid-2024, its population is estimated at about 283 million people, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. Its geographic diversity includes dense rainforests, volcanic highlands, and extensive coastlines.
The history of Indonesia includes centuries of local kingdoms, centuries of Dutch colonial rule as the Dutch East Indies, Japanese occupation during World War II, and a hard-fought independence proclaimed in 1945 and internationally recognized in 1949. Through the late 20th century, Indonesia experienced authoritarian rule under President Suharto, followed by a transition to democracy beginning in 1998 with reformasi. Since then, the country has held regular elections and gradually developed a more pluralistic political culture.
- The capital of Indonesia is Jakarta, a major megacity on the island of Java and the political, economic, and cultural hub of the nation.
- The current President of Indonesia is Prabowo Subianto, who assumed office in October 2024; he is a former military general and businessman who ran on agendas of reform, national strength, and economic self-reliance.
- President Prabowo has demonstrated a notably warm and cooperative rapport with U.S. President Donald Trump, a dynamic that has drawn attention in diplomatic and media discussions.
