I suppose this makes Indonesia the country with the highest population in SE Asia?
I think after China and India, it would be Indonesia in growth of population. Well, Population are also could be a good strength for the country.
The name Indonesia became more common in academic circles outside the Netherlands, and Indonesian nationalist groups adopted it for political expression, With over 238 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country, and has the world's largest population of Muslims. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president..
With 238 million people, Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world by population, after China, India and the United States.The island of Java is the world's most populated island and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with more than 130 million people living in an area the size of Greece,Indonesia includes numerous ethnic, cultural and linguistic groups..
