Indonesia overview
Indonesia's capital is Jakarta. The World Bank counts about 285.7 million people for 2025, and the IANA time zone database lists 4 zones for the country.
Only three countries share a land boundary with Indonesia: Timor-Leste, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. That puts it in a far corner of the Travle map: the longest trip from Indonesia takes 17 steps, to Lesotho.

The World Bank counts 285,721,236 people in Indonesia for 2025, which is 4th of 170 by population. Spread over 1,916,907 km² of surface area (2024), that is about 149 people per km², 36th of 169 by density.
