Geohistory: Indonesia country profile.

Hello! Today I will tell you about the geohistory of Indonesia.

Destination Indonesia, the largest archipelago in the world is situated in Maritime Southeast Asia.

The country consists of a number of islands between, 13,000 and more than 17,000, depending on what you define as an island.

With an area of 1,904,569 km² and a population of 258 million people making Indonesia the largest and most populous country situated only on islands, the combined area of the archipelago is slightly smaller than Mexico, or more than five times the size of Germany.

Indonesia's capital and largest city is Jakarta on the island of Java, other major cities: Bandung, Medan, Surabaya. Official language is Indonesian.

Spread across a chain of thousands of islands between Asia and Australia, Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population and Southeast Asia's biggest economy. The people range from rural hunter-gatherers to a modern urban elite.

Sophisticated kingdoms existed before the arrival of the Dutch, who colonised the archipelago but gave in to an independence struggle in 1949.

Indonesia has become one of the world's major emerging economies, but faces demands for independence in several provinces and increasing attacks by Islamist armed groups.
