Indonesia is a lot bigger than you think! #Shorts #Indonesia #BBCNews

The maps have got it wrong here’s what Indonesia looks like but it’s actually way bigger than it appears spans over 5,200 km longer than Europe and if we were to measure it that’s from England to Afghanistan if we compare it to America that’s from the east coast to

The West Coast and Beyond and it’s got a huge population about 275 million people making it the world’s fourth biggest country by population the largest Muslim country and the world’s third largest democracy that’s why its election today is a pretty big deal it’s only the sixth poll the country’s had since it emerged

From a military dictatorship in the ’90s and these days Indonesia is a vibrant and modern but somewhat fragile democracy and its literal position in the world in a region that’s crucial to both the US and China means its vote is one to watch

  1. Invested in SE for its Indonesia exposure (#1 e-commerce app in the country). Have a smaller stake in Tokopedia before Tik Tok invested in them. Long term bullish on Indonesia's prospects though I really should visit one day lol

  2. Fun fact- maps were first made my Muslim explorers, Our maps have been made Eurocentric after Europe realized the world wasn’t flat, it was to show their dominance in the world. To be honest maps should just be made by scale
