The island Republic of Indonesia straddles the equator and stretches for over 4,000 kilometres from Sumatra in the west to New Guinea in the east. The bustling capital of Jakarta is located on the populous island of Java, and supports almost 10 million residents. Indonesia is home to the world’s largest population of Muslims, and yet the official state philosophy is Pancasila which upholds five main principals and unifies the country’s differences. Indonesia is a diverse land of differing cultures and ethnic groups, and a land of extremes where some islands support high populations while others remain covered in wilderness. Lying at the eastern end of the Alpide Belt, the second most seismic area in the world, Indonesia boasts 400 volcanoes of which150 are active. Included within this number are the volcanoes of Krakatoa and Tambora, which are known for being two of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history. Almost 240 million people live within the Indonesian Archipelago making it the fourth most populated country in the world, with the island of Java historically being recognised as the heartland of the nation. The archipelago is comprised of over 17,000 islands of which only 6,000 are inhabited. There are four major island groups including the Greater Sunda Islands, which is formed by the larger islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sulawesi (Celebes), the smaller groups of the Maluku Islands (Spice Islands) and the Lesser Sunda Islands, and includes part of the large island of Western New Guinea. Located within the Lesser Sunda Islands is the major tourist destination of Bali which is the most popular island within Indonesia.
Boasting spectacular volcanic scenery, many stunning beaches, hot tropical weather and some of the world’s best surfing waves, Indonesia has grown to become a popular tourist destination. Many volcanic areas are protected through the country’s network of national parks as are several of the tropical wilderness areas which support an incredibly diverse flora and fauna. The wildlife of Indonesia includes the Orang-utang, the unique Komodo Dragon and critically endangered species such as the Javan Rhinoceros and Sumatran Tiger. For the energetic visitor, Indonesian is home to some of the world’s top scuba diving sites, while for the gourmet traveler the country offers a wide variety of foods which changes throughout the regions. Some attractions which may be of interest include the legacy of the Dutch colonial buildings which can be seen in the capital of Jakarta, and the two extensive ancient temple complexes of Borobudur and Prambanan, both of which have been declared U.N.E.S.C.O. World Heritage Sites.
