Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia. It is the world's most populous island country, with a population of more than 250 million.
Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia, with a population of more than 250 million, and an area of 1,918,617 sq km. The country covers 5,410,000 sq km, about 6% of the Asian continent, less than 2% of the land area of the Earth and about 0.05% of the total surface of the planet.
Indonesia's geography is typically characterized by two large island-mountain ranges—the great central spine of the Wallacea Islands, and the smaller islands of the Sunda Archipelago—and is surrounded by sea. Its territories also include many smaller islets and atolls, along with numerous tiny reefs, islets and cays scattered throughout the islands. A tropical island country, Indonesia is a chain of thousands of small islands, most of which are barely large enough to be considered a single landmass, and all of which lie in the Pacific Ocean. As well as this, it is also one of the few countries in the world that is not connected to any other land mass by a bridge or tunnel.
Indonesia has the second largest population on the planet after China and, if it were a separate nation, would be the world's fourth most populous country. After China, it is the world's largest Buddhist nation, with an overwhelmingly majority Buddhist population, while it is also the most populous Muslim country in the world, with Indonesia having the largest Muslim population of any country in the world.
The country has 17,508 kilometres of coastline with seas and lakes, 12,814 km of inland waterways, and 2,213 km of river, of which 1,955 km are navigable.
The geographical location of Indonesia is similar to that of Oceania, and as in Oceania, Indonesia consists of a number of countries. This is because of the penetration of Indonesian culture into several of the islands during the 16th to the 19th century. Indonesia consists of 17,508 kilometres of coastline with seas and lakes, 12,814 km of inland waterways, and 2,213 km of river, of which 1,955 km are navigable. be359ba680
