Indonesia - Statistics & Facts
The Republic of Indonesia is one of the most populated nations worldwide and among the largest countries by total area. As a sovereign state archipelago in Southeast Asia and Oceania, Indonesia shares borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia. Located on the northwest coast of Java, Jakarta is Indonesia’s capital and largest city by far. Despite a slowly decreasing fertility rate and thus a declining population growth rate, Indonesia's total population is estimated to reach an astounding 321 million by 2050.
