Indonesia

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is an archipelago comprising approximately 13,000 islands. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia. Indonesia consists of various ethnic, linguistic and religious groups. Indonesia's national motto "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity") articulates the diversity that shapes the country. Also has a dense population and vast territory, Indonesia has a natural area that became the second largest biodiversity in the world.
Indonesia has more than 300 ethnic groups, every ethnic heritage that has evolved over centuries, influenced by Indian culture, Arabic, Chinese, European, and including the Malay culture itself. Examples of traditional Javanese and Balinese dances that have aspects of Hindu culture and mythology.

Indonesia's location on the edges of the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian tectonic plates makes it the site of numerous volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Indonesia has at least 150 active volcanoes, including Krakatoa and Tambora, both famous for their devastating eruptions in the 19th century. The eruption of the Toba supervolcano, approximately 70,000 years ago, was one of the largest eruptions ever, and a global catastrophe. Recent disasters due to seismic activity include the 2004 tsunami that killed an estimated 167,736 in northern Sumatra, and the Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006. However, volcanic ash is a major contributor to the high agricultural fertility that has historically sustained the high population densities of Java and Bali.
Lying along the equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate, with two distinct monsoonal wet and dry seasons. Average annual rainfall in the lowlands varies from 1,780–3,175 millimeters (70–125 in), and up to 6,100 millimeters (240 in) in mountainous regions. Mountainous areas—particularly in the west coast of Sumatra, West Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua—receive the highest rainfall. Humidity is generally high, averaging about 80%. Temperatures vary little throughout the year; the average daily temperature range of Jakarta is 26–30 °C (79–86 °F). (Wikipedia.org)
