REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

POPULATION

Indonesia is the 4^th most populated country, having a population of 270 million. The density is 141/km². As we can see on the map, the Indonesian population isn’t equally divided. For example, the Island of Java is more densely populated than parts of Island of Borneo, Island of New Guinea, and the surrounding New Guinea islands. Indonesia is the most populated Islamic state. There, 86.7% are Muslims. The Indonesian capital is Jakarta, but the city of Nusantara will probably replace Jakarta as a capital in future. The reasons for the Indonesian government’s intention for changing the state's capital are tough urban issues in Jakarta.
