Indonesians are so attached to their volcanoes in which Indonesian children would most likely to draw a picture of rice field with volcanoes on background, bisected with public road in between at least more than once in their lifetime.
In a nutshell, Indonesia is a country with the largest muslim population in the world, the largest buddhist temple in the world, was colonized by a christian nation, and having a hindu-majority Island as the most famous tourist destination.
@@byron-ih2ge lol it was complicated, the buddhist and hindus came then build massive temple, then islams came and basically just collapse the remaining buddhist and hindu kingdom, then the christian arrive (basically most of western europe) and try to colonize it and only the dutch finish it after hundreds of years of conquest (yes i know my country Indonesia is colonized for 3 and a half centuries but still it finish prob late 19 century or early 20th century because some kingdoms is still exist until very end of 19th century like aceh and batak kingdom), then japan came and do "resource extraction" , then we declare our independence in 1945 and became recognised on the 50's and in 1962 we just conquer what rest of dutch colony (western new guinea) and on 1975 just annexed timor leste who got it independence back in 2002 this is basically Indonesian history without the complicated budhist and hindu kingdom + dutch colonialization effort Edit: changed some japannese things and added some on the collapse of buddhist and hindu kingdoms
@@lixobounce6588 Not really. The Japanese wanted to gear Indonesia for war, the Dutch wanted to make us a Colony. That's why the Dutch build roads and educate the upper class. They kept the KNIL mostly Dutch, and limited to keep stability. They gave education to an upper class so that one day, they could have a loyal ruling elite, with an efficient administration. The Japanese had no interest in making Indonesia a colony. They are gearing Indonesian resources for war. That's why thousands of people were conscripted for labor in the Romusha and were shipped to Burma. That's why they established PETA to prepare and arm Indonesian volunteers. Their encouragement of Indonesian Nationalist movements mainly to garner support instead of securing an actual independence. Of Course, both regime were not great, but to say that the Japanese are better, because they promised us Independence is rather misleading.
I wish we break up tho, I don't like everything is centered in Java, I wish we can be just like EU where you can travel without visa with a lot of country for each main island.
Indonesia geography is both blessing and curse, it's a blessing because it's located on a very strategic ship lane with Big Resources on it's land and sea. And also it will make any foreign invasion think twice before messing with indonesia because the logistical nightmare they need to invade the island in Indonesia . But it also a curse since it mean the cost of infrastructure development is insanely expensive compare to the country in the mainland.
@@KhAnubis as you said in the video, those volcano can be a blessing too, here land is very fertile, one of the reason why Java have a very big population is thanks to those fertile land.
@@roxaskaragi879 for now those volcanoes are a downside imo It hinders economic growth outside agriculture, meant that not a lot of domestic or foreign investor would want to invest anything other than agriculture there. But hopefully it will go to the path of Japan.

I've been to Indonesia in 2015 & 2018. I visited Indonesia with the aim of exploring and adventuring, not for vacation or honeymoon. However, I have not explored Indonesia 100% because it is vast and also very diverse. Each region in Indonesia has different tourist or natural attractions, as if entering a different dimension. It's hard to explain, the point is when you go to Indonesia, what you visit with other regions in Indonesia is definitely different. What made me so interested in Indonesia? The answer is nature, because nature in Indonesia has very clear differences in each region. Some even look strange, unique and absurd and there are lots of hidden places to explore. For me, Indonesia is very suitable to be used as a place for adventure, explorers and get unexpected experiences. My personal conclusion about Indonesia : Indonesia is like a very beautiful Queen, very graceful, very charming, very attractive, very stunning and very cool. However, keep in mind that although the Queen almost looks perfect, on the other hand the Queen also has a dangerous nature (Many natural disasters in Indonesia have been recorded internationally and even get the title of the most frequent and the most violent, Queen appears completely different from the others). When the Queen is asleep, the Queen looks extraordinary and fun to approach but if the Queen wakes up from her sleep, it is certain that there will be a sign of danger because the Queen is in a tantrum. You can see the damage caused by Queen in Indonesia by typing a search "Natural Disasters in Indonesia" or you can look on Wikipedia (There are many written lists of events). Note : Although Queen often tantrums when she wakes up from her sleep, this is what made me fall in love because of her very different figure. Be careful with the forces of nature because we don't know when and where the Queen rages. Because if the Queen has gone berserk then she doesn't know tourists or locals. I can only hope that the Queen doesn't run amok and doesn't harm locals or tourists. Amen. 🙏 Every tourist will have a different experience when visiting Queen, The Queen desire to go berserk is also an adventure, so I want to return to being beside the Queen because the Queen has everything (Super mega diversity) to gain experience and knowledge that is unusual for a tourist like me. Indonesia is more towards the category of tourist attractions for adventure and exploration. Not just for a honeymoon or relaxing because you will definitely lose something unique, strange, interesting and unreasonable in Indonesia as an experience and learning. It was the experience I felt. When you have explored several adventures in Indonesia be it volcanoes, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, jungles, caves and etc. (it's up to their own version, because there are too many to explore), although you will be tired but it is very satisfying and enjoyable. pleasant. of course get a different experience so that your experience can be told like mine. It should be noted that not all tourists who venture to Indonesia are successful, there are also those who fail miserably because of the act of the Queen who woke up from her sleep. The Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia is so satisfying even though she often throws tantrums. Such is the explanation of the true definition of the word Queen because it has the will and strength according to its own will. Be grateful for those of you who have a place of adventure that is so vast and diverse in nature (not man-made) that foreign tourists like me too can have fun there to explore, learn, know and feel. Indonesia is a very suitable place for tourists who want to try a different trip or vacation. Traveling to Indonesia brings me joy, pleasure, satisfaction, anxiety, sadness, fatigue and confusion. All in one and that is what is called a very interesting and colorful journey, Indonesia does not only offer about buildings or nightclubs. Indonesia is much crazier with its unique and strange nature. I love Indonesia ❤️ (Mysterious Queen Land).
Thanks for telling me all of that! I am from Indonesia but I don't know what hidden in my own country... I never explore my country..... I'm still a kid right now! But in the future I hope I can explore it and found out what is hidden in those different islands!!!! I'm excited to explore all of those islands meet with people and more! I also hope you have a nice life mrs or Mr😅
WOOOOOOW! I am a geographer, so... I LOVE reading about and visiting different countries... But I never read a so interesting text about a particular country or place. THANK YOU! But, please, could you answer me: Where are you from? I imagine you are from Australia... Am I right?!
i had a culture shock when i first knew mostly every country is just like a part of one big island or continent and didn't consist thousand of islands separated by water like in here Indonesia 😂😭

To this day, I'm still questioning the decision not to name it Kalimantan instead because when I was 7, I was taught how to memorize the major islands of Indonesia like this, "This is Kalimantan. The way you remember it is look at the island beside it. Does it look like a letter 'K'? Remember. Kalimantan is next to the Letter K." and then I asked my teacher "Why the K island is not the Kalimantan?" and the teacher froze for several seconds before answering "I don't know."

Fun fact: the area that was destined for the new capital is actually harsh land. Most of the forest there are gone already, leaving nothing but hills, farm lands and leftover mining land. Only small part is a forest, because the capital needs city forest to reduce carbon emission. The forest is also part of government-owned land and has no protected or conservated animals in there.
Good thing. Those who debated the issue overlooked the fact that most of the forest in the area is already gone, thus making the animals to migrate to western forest which is under government conservation and protection.
I love the meaning Indonesia's main islands. Sumatra, some said is derived from Swarnadwipa which means the Island of Gold as back then it's thought to have a large gold reserve when it's just weirdly wealthy because of its kingdom. Java is derived from Yavadwipa, which means Island of Seeds. It boasted it's specialty of ancient time- agriculture. Kalimantan, as seen in video, is derived from Kalimantan, which roughly means Burning Weather Island not precisely because it's hot and humid, but because when the weather changed to and the wind brought the hot air from Australia, the island is quite prone to have a forest fire, even from the ancient time. Sulawesi means Island of Iron, as from ancient time till now, this island boasted its iron mine and production. I seem to remember they used to have a lot of blacksmith there. Papua means "curly" in Malay, but according to another local language near the island, Papua means "The land beneath the setting sun"
Actually, Indonesia has great potential to compete on an international scale. However, Indonesia is lagging behind due to the slow development of human resources. No matter how, I will always love this country, my motherland 🇮🇩🇮🇩
Yes, our education is top notch but not spreads equally. Noted it's not entirely the government's fault, since village and remote people usually don't want to get to high school and just want to live a simple live. Can't blame them tho, city life is harsh
I live in Jakarta. The population was 36 million ages ago. This extends to the greater Jakartan region of Jabodetabek. Hard to gauge a population spread over 17558 islands with many tribal peoples living in jungles.

Few weeks ago, indonesian government changed the status of separatist movement in indonesia's papua from "armed chriminal group" to "terorist group" due to their action that resemble terorism and spreading fear among papuan comunity Days before indonesian government decided to mark them as terorist group, the Free West Papua armed group killing unarmed civilians Two teachers, a highschool student and an ojek driver (public transportation using motorbike) and using several villages as hostage. Due to their hostile nature, villagers around puncak jaya regency that close to the hostage village decided not to go far from their house, because they are afraid that if they meet with those armed criminals, they may be killed. Because of this, the villagers are heavily dependend to government support and unable to cultivate their field due to the fear that FWP gave to them. After indonesian government declare military campaign to annihiliate the separatist group and liberate the villages, villagers then have enough confidence to cultivate their field and they celebrate it with comunal harvest since that was harvest time for some of the crops like watermelon, carrot and vegetables

7:34, if we're talking about volcanic activity. In java there's ancient capital city of Mataram Kingdom which have been buried like Pompeii. But the ruler of Mataram Kingdom at that time is a wise man and already evacuate his citizens to east side of java. So when we tried to dig the site, there's no death bodies. But from archaeological finding it's likely to be a sudden evacuation. Because many foods like rice have been left. If they want to travel far to the east, it's just more make sense if they bring important food source like rice.
I want to move to Lubuk Basung, North of Padang Sumatera, when I can retire. Love the warm weather & the warmth of the people. Been invited to weddings when visiting friends.

Hey Khanubis. I liked the video. Just a suggestion whenever you talk about the islands would you be able to label the map while you talk about them so it is less confusing.
The most unique thing in Indonesia is that if some countries have very specific skin colors, such as one specific skin color for that country, the difference is that Indonesia has all skin colors, even on each island has its own distinctive color, so sometimes it's like an Indonesian. we can distinguish people from which tribe or region. And in each region has its own language but our unitary language is Indonesian. Indonesia has 718 regional languages. It's really crazy that I only know my local language, Indonesian, neighboring languages, and Javanese. Haha this is kinda funny.
More accurately it was colonized by VOC..the largest company ever known.. basically they were aiming for natural resources especially spices..which at that time were an expensive commodities
I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance. INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature. The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level. Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia. The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason. Many historians, scientists, researchers and volunteers are involved in the "RAGE OF QUEEN MOTHER NATURE IN INDONESIA". The total points for natural attractions in Indonesia are 10/10. Queen Mother Nature brutal power level. >JAPAN : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >PHILLIPINES : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >CHILE : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >NEW ZEALAND : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >USA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >ITALY : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >CANADA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >CHINA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). >INDONESIA : ? (MODE QUEEN LEVEL MAX). Please find out how many total deaths are caused by major natural disasters in Indonesia, they occur too often, in fact many other countries have cooperated with Indonesia but have not been able to control natural disasters in Indonesia and are finally labeled as "ABNORMAL". Other countries also experience natural disasters but not as strong, as much and as brutal as nature in Indonesia. It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia. Even the governments of many countries have warned the Indonesian government to remain vigilant about natural disasters there, it's no joke because the dark history of the biggest natural disasters in Indonesia is written and documented by the International. "The more beautiful you look, the more dangerous you are". (Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature).
Yes. I worked as a volunteer in Timor Leste for a while. A couple of times I had to travel to the office in Oecusse. This meant taking my passport for the one hour or so transiting Indonesia. However, I think the West Timorese have more in common with the East Timorese than they do with the people on Java.
For the new capital city; I must say that "Nagari Rimba Nusa" is not its future official name, since the new capital city still has no official name yet. The name "Nagari Rimba Nusa" is actually the name of the city design from some urban planning firm that won the New National Capital Contest (Sayembara Ibu Kota Baru) from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) in 2019. The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), also in 2019, has clarified that the new capital will only serve as a seat of government like Washington DC is, while Jakarta will remain the economic centre of Indonesia.
as a country with the highest level of active volcano in the world, there are 4 times tectonic earthquakes every day in Indonesia and it can happen anywhere 😳

The "ngi" sound in Singapore Changi Airport is pronounced not exactly like but similar to the French "gn" sound in Champignon".

@@byron-ih2ge lol it was complicated, the buddhist and hindus came then build massive temple, then islams came and basically just collapse the remaining buddhist and hindu kingdom, then the christian arrive (basically most of western europe) and try to colonize it and only the dutch finish it after hundreds of years of conquest (yes i know my country Indonesia is colonized for 3 and a half centuries but still it finish prob late 19 century or early 20th century because some kingdoms is still exist until very end of 19th century like aceh and batak kingdom), then japan came and do "resource extraction" , then we declare our independence in 1945 and became recognised on the 50's and in 1962 we just conquer what rest of dutch colony (western new guinea) and on 1975 just annexed timor leste who got it independence back in 2002
this is basically Indonesian history without the complicated budhist and hindu kingdom + dutch colonialization effort
Edit: changed some japannese things and added some on the collapse of buddhist and hindu kingdoms
@@lixobounce6588 The Japanese definetly doesn't treat us better than the Dutch.
@@LeBookKeeper atleast they promised us independence though we can just get it our self
@@lixobounce6588 Not really. The Japanese wanted to gear Indonesia for war, the Dutch wanted to make us a Colony. That's why the Dutch build roads and educate the upper class. They kept the KNIL mostly Dutch, and limited to keep stability. They gave education to an upper class so that one day, they could have a loyal ruling elite, with an efficient administration.
The Japanese had no interest in making Indonesia a colony. They are gearing Indonesian resources for war. That's why thousands of people were conscripted for labor in the Romusha and were shipped to Burma. That's why they established PETA to prepare and arm Indonesian volunteers. Their encouragement of Indonesian Nationalist movements mainly to garner support instead of securing an actual independence.
Of Course, both regime were not great, but to say that the Japanese are better, because they promised us Independence is rather misleading.

Indonesia geography is both blessing and curse, it's a blessing because it's located on a very strategic ship lane with Big Resources on it's land and sea. And also it will make any foreign invasion think twice before messing with indonesia because the logistical nightmare they need to invade the island in Indonesia .
But it also a curse since it mean the cost of infrastructure development is insanely expensive compare to the country in the mainland.
Also volcanoes
@@KhAnubis as you said in the video, those volcano can be a blessing too, here land is very fertile, one of the reason why Java have a very big population is thanks to those fertile land.

I've been to Indonesia in 2015 & 2018. I visited Indonesia with the aim of exploring and adventuring, not for vacation or honeymoon. However, I have not explored Indonesia 100% because it is vast and also very diverse. Each region in Indonesia has different tourist or natural attractions, as if entering a different dimension. It's hard to explain, the point is when you go to Indonesia, what you visit with other regions in Indonesia is definitely different.
What made me so interested in Indonesia? The answer is nature, because nature in Indonesia has very clear differences in each region. Some even look strange, unique and absurd and there are lots of hidden places to explore. For me, Indonesia is very suitable to be used as a place for adventure, explorers and get unexpected experiences.
My personal conclusion about Indonesia :
Indonesia is like a very beautiful Queen, very graceful, very charming, very attractive, very stunning and very cool. However, keep in mind that although the Queen almost looks perfect, on the other hand the Queen also has a dangerous nature (Many natural disasters in Indonesia have been recorded internationally and even get the title of the most frequent and the most violent, Queen appears completely different from the others). When the Queen is asleep, the Queen looks extraordinary and fun to approach but if the Queen wakes up from her sleep, it is certain that there will be a sign of danger because the Queen is in a tantrum. You can see the damage caused by Queen in Indonesia by typing a search "Natural Disasters in Indonesia" or you can look on Wikipedia (There are many written lists of events).
Note : Although Queen often tantrums when she wakes up from her sleep, this is what made me fall in love because of her very different figure. Be careful with the forces of nature because we don't know when and where the Queen rages. Because if the Queen has gone berserk then she doesn't know tourists or locals. I can only hope that the Queen doesn't run amok and doesn't harm locals or tourists. Amen. 🙏
Every tourist will have a different experience when visiting Queen, The Queen desire to go berserk is also an adventure, so I want to return to being beside the Queen because the Queen has everything (Super mega diversity) to gain experience and knowledge that is unusual for a tourist like me. Indonesia is more towards the category of tourist attractions for adventure and exploration. Not just for a honeymoon or relaxing because you will definitely lose something unique, strange, interesting and unreasonable in Indonesia as an experience and learning. It was the experience I felt.
When you have explored several adventures in Indonesia be it volcanoes, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, jungles, caves and etc. (it's up to their own version, because there are too many to explore), although you will be tired but it is very satisfying and enjoyable. pleasant. of course get a different experience so that your experience can be told like mine. It should be noted that not all tourists who venture to Indonesia are successful, there are also those who fail miserably because of the act of the Queen who woke up from her sleep.
The Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia is so satisfying even though she often throws tantrums. Such is the explanation of the true definition of the word Queen because it has the will and strength according to its own will.
Be grateful for those of you who have a place of adventure that is so vast and diverse in nature (not man-made) that foreign tourists like me too can have fun there to explore, learn, know and feel. Indonesia is a very suitable place for tourists who want to try a different trip or vacation. Traveling to Indonesia brings me joy, pleasure, satisfaction, anxiety, sadness, fatigue and confusion. All in one and that is what is called a very interesting and colorful journey, Indonesia does not only offer about buildings or nightclubs. Indonesia is much crazier with its unique and strange nature.
I love Indonesia ❤️ (Mysterious Queen Land).

I am from Indonesia but I don't know what hidden in my own country... I never explore my country..... I'm still a kid right now!

Fun fact: the area that was destined for the new capital is actually harsh land. Most of the forest there are gone already, leaving nothing but hills, farm lands and leftover mining land. Only small part is a forest, because the capital needs city forest to reduce carbon emission. The forest is also part of government-owned land and has no protected or conservated animals in there.
Is that good or a bad thing? Or neither?
Good thing. Those who debated the issue overlooked the fact that most of the forest in the area is already gone, thus making the animals to migrate to western forest which is under government conservation and protection.

I love the meaning Indonesia's main islands.
Sumatra, some said is derived from Swarnadwipa which means the Island of Gold as back then it's thought to have a large gold reserve when it's just weirdly wealthy because of its kingdom.
Java is derived from Yavadwipa, which means Island of Seeds. It boasted it's specialty of ancient time- agriculture.
Kalimantan, as seen in video, is derived from Kalimantan, which roughly means Burning Weather Island not precisely because it's hot and humid, but because when the weather changed to and the wind brought the hot air from Australia, the island is quite prone to have a forest fire, even from the ancient time.
Sulawesi means Island of Iron, as from ancient time till now, this island boasted its iron mine and production. I seem to remember they used to have a lot of blacksmith there.
Papua means "curly" in Malay, but according to another local language near the island, Papua means "The land beneath the setting sun"

Few weeks ago, indonesian government changed the status of separatist movement in indonesia's papua from "armed chriminal group" to "terorist group" due to their action that resemble terorism and spreading fear among papuan comunity
Days before indonesian government decided to mark them as terorist group, the Free West Papua armed group killing unarmed civilians
Two teachers, a highschool student and an ojek driver (public transportation using motorbike) and using several villages as hostage. Due to their hostile nature, villagers around puncak jaya regency that close to the hostage village decided not to go far from their house, because they are afraid that if they meet with those armed criminals, they may be killed.
Because of this, the villagers are heavily dependend to government support and unable to cultivate their field due to the fear that FWP gave to them.
After indonesian government declare military campaign to annihiliate the separatist group and liberate the villages, villagers then have enough confidence to cultivate their field and they celebrate it with comunal harvest since that was harvest time for some of the crops like watermelon, carrot and vegetables

And in each region has its own language but our unitary language is Indonesian. Indonesia has 718 regional languages. It's really crazy that I only know my local language, Indonesian, neighboring languages, and Javanese. Haha this is kinda funny.
What the hell was The Netherlands thinking when they colonised this place?
Netherlands: [high] so we want one country in two continents
More accurately it was colonized by VOC..the largest company ever known.. basically they were aiming for natural resources especially spices..which at that time were an expensive commodities
@@afebrian2037 Spices to the Dutch were like Tea to the British lol.
Failed history
Actually Indonesia used to be one continent, but the Netherlands lost a war in Irian in like 1960 or something and indonesia won
Russia: Jokes on you, Netherlands. You will never be like us!
finally.
i have waited for four...no, five thousand years for this moment!
Hol' up
I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance.
INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature.
The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level.
Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia.
The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon
Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason. Many historians, scientists, researchers and volunteers are involved in the "RAGE OF QUEEN MOTHER NATURE IN INDONESIA".
The total points for natural attractions in Indonesia are 10/10.
Queen Mother Nature brutal power level.
>JAPAN : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>PHILLIPINES : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>CHILE : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>NEW ZEALAND : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>USA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>ITALY : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>CANADA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>CHINA : 10 (NORMAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE).
>INDONESIA : ? (MODE QUEEN LEVEL MAX).
Please find out how many total deaths are caused by major natural disasters in Indonesia, they occur too often, in fact many other countries have cooperated with Indonesia but have not been able to control natural disasters in Indonesia and are finally labeled as "ABNORMAL".
Other countries also experience natural disasters but not as strong, as much and as brutal as nature in Indonesia. It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia. Even the governments of many countries have warned the Indonesian government to remain vigilant about natural disasters there, it's no joke because the dark history of the biggest natural disasters in Indonesia is written and documented by the International.
"The more beautiful you look, the more dangerous you are".
(Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature).
What is it with all of these queen things ..
I looked up what the little extra piece is on East Timor's border. An exclave called Oecusse, with special status in East Timor.
Yes. I worked as a volunteer in Timor Leste for a while. A couple of times I had to travel to the office in Oecusse. This meant taking my passport for the one hour or so transiting Indonesia. However, I think the West Timorese have more in common with the East Timorese than they do with the people on Java.
@@brontewcat Isnt that obvious ?
For the new capital city; I must say that "Nagari Rimba Nusa" is not its future official name, since the new capital city still has no official name yet.
The name "Nagari Rimba Nusa" is actually the name of the city design from some urban planning firm that won the New National Capital Contest (Sayembara Ibu Kota Baru) from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) in 2019.
The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), also in 2019, has clarified that the new capital will only serve as a seat of government like Washington DC is, while Jakarta will remain the economic centre of Indonesia.
I prefer St Jokoburg

as a country with the highest level of active volcano in the world, there are 4 times tectonic earthquakes every day in Indonesia and it can happen anywhere 😳
Very interesting video on Indonesia geographical, economic and pollution. I love Indonesia always used admire this country. Thanks.
their advantages: Volcanoes for tourism and strategic location allows Indonesia to trade with China
their disadvantage: Volcanoes and China
The CCP is always a disadvantage
Damn, im laughin
You forgot to mention; The USA, Australia, several European Nations, and other foreign powers trying to worm their way to exploit Indonesia's resources, but okay.
@@joe-cg2hv China is an even bigger disadvantage compared to private countries buying plots of land
Indonesians are going to storm this video, oh boy...
If you wanna clickbait Indonesians, just put "Indonesia" in the title or thumbnail. See how well that goes.
So Indonesians same thing as Brazilians do when their country is in title?
this will happen to every country I guess, especially if yours came from those 'not so mainstream' countries
@@lucaslevinsky8802 Yep, I know speaking as an Indonesian.
I think Indonesian Citizens Tacky
Indians be like: finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary
the fact that Indonesia have 34 province each have it's own culture and language, spread over hundreds of island and mostly have it's own language as well but the country still stand strong and united until now is really a miracle in itself.
As an indonesian , the geography of indonesia is sometimes very challenging and beautiful at the same time
And yes ,java is like the core of my country, where alot of stuff happened.
Well it's surely a very great video. As Indonesian I can confirm that this video is very detailed and also a great way to teach people about Indonesia. It contains new facts, future problems, and advantages/disadvantages from Indonesia.
Indonesia is fascinating though
@Bob yea i wish i wasnt born in this uncivilized country
The way you guys said that (Bob & Athings) only mention that you are some random Jakartans dude who never live in nature villages in Indonesia
@Honest Leicester Fan Yeah. I agree with you
@@A-ThingThatExists. I honestly Hate and Love Living in Indonesia at The Same Thing, Their Dense Population is The Thing I hate since It makes Every Road Fulls of Vehicles and even It makes Every Forest is being Cut off for Homes and Buildings

LANGUAGE FACT!! I also just realized this. Sulawesi, or Sula vesi to be more precise, means molten (or liquid) water in finnish.
You know whats funny? Sulawesi actually means "Iron Island" from Sula (Island) and Wesi (Iron).
But if we mix it with this Finnish Sula... Sulawesi can as well be "Molten Iron" lol
Mindblown

Regarding the drinking water sourcing problem in Jakarta they have built an open water reservoir on a neighbouring province to store and process rainwater to drink. The capacity is currently only enough to act as an altermative source, there are plans to expand capacity.
3:40 wait, I just realized that I almost got hit by a train because when I cross the road I check "right -left", but when I crossed the train track I should check "left-right" but I checked right first and suddenly a train from left passed
I'm mostly amazed on how big it is and yet its system of government is unitary rather than federal - the lengths to make it stable had to be quite great.
The secret most of population outside of Java island coming from Java island themselves. Java has twice the population of the entire Russia federation so the government force the people to move out of Java to other island until the natives of the outer Island become minority.
@@iamgreat1234 Based on what I saw I'm not sure exactly if the Javanese are still the majority in some non-Javanese regions, even then I think them forgoing Javanese as an L1 language over Indonesian Malay may also be a key because it would be a "foreign langauge" as with everyone.
The secret ingredient is transmigration
once we got federal system, part of the Dutch Agenda tho and not many like it
@@iamgreat1234
That's the case during New Order regime. However, nowadays most of Javanese who do transmigrate usually would assimilate into local culture, adapting their language and even “going native” themselves.

Oh no....
Least safe aviation just meant a more exciting adventure in the sky
Interesting that you dint mention “kampongs” or “kampungs’
Theyre a major part of how low density areas work.
Plus, most of the high rises on indonesia is in Jakarta so pretty much every other city in Indonesia (including mine which is called Solo, or Surakarta) is devoid of high rises, except for a minor few so kampungs are a really major part of how most cities work, or the Outer ring of Jakarta works and looks like.
These types of videos are why I subscribed
I love to go Indonesia and Japan. As both countries lies on Pacific ring , the view will be outstanding compared to others. Anyway im from your neighbouring
We have stunning, isolated, virgin places. But the downside of that is it's hard to get a strong and stable signal in those places.

I get used to think that “Indonesia is not really that big” until I see the map of the archipelago superimposed on top of Europe.
The distance between Medan and Jayapura roughly the same with the distance between Paris and Teheran.
It would be one hell of a journey to explore the entirety of this nation.
What if the airport in Sabang flies from their place to Merauke 😳
@@MGharriy
People would be terrified if they see ‘airport’ flies. Lol.
Anyway, if there's a flight from Sabang to Merauke, I‘d guarantee it won't be cheap.

@@andriwahyudani1302 that considered cheap actually. That's a normal price to fly from East Kalimantan to West Java, i.e if you took the cheapest one it costs around 1.1 Million IDR on avg and if you use the white blue one it costs you at least 1.9 Mil IDR or if you're unlucky you'll have to pay around 2.2 Mil. That's like a year ago though... idk abt now.

And I'm still amazed how this country still stood with that...
Because we have foundation "bhinneka tunggal ika" different but still united..

I love your videos man, the work you put in deserves way more views.
We are Indonesian have hidden islands named "pulau kapuk" no exist on map or google map. And only Indonesian can stay there ( just only at night). You can ask Indonesian.
pulau kapuk the best :D
😁😁😁😁
Thanks to the island location Indonesia was never been invaded. Well, unless you have mass navy, like Portuguese, British, or Dutch
Yeah it is basically invicible to the mongol horde.
And the only reason Indonesia finally succumb is that the invader controlled the major ports and major trade hub thus major economy centre and thus able to work together with the local leader and influenced them and weakened them.
@@manghariz2211 Don't raja chola invaded from India?
@@mfaizsyahmi true but it was invaded from the north by a chinese tributaries kingdom at the same time. basically its an invasion by both india and china
@@mfaizsyahmi Chola only success in northern part, they were defeated in Sumatra. That's why they never made it to Java.
@@mfaizsyahmi idk about that one
I only know about the Chinese/Mongol attempt to Invade Java,
That is interesting though.
Good video as always
The "ngi" sound in Singapore Changi Airport is pronounced not exactly like but similar to the French "gn" sound in Champignon".
Also while Singapore doesn't have a land border with Indonesia, it used to be part of a kingdom that is formed in what was once simultaneously Indonesia (Riau islands), Singapore (Pulau Ujong) and Malaysia (Johor) called Riau-Lingga. Edit: it was just the Johor sultanate not Riau-Lingga
Riau-Lingga (and also Siak) is created from the split of Johor Sultanate, due to succession crisis.
Riau lingga never once had Johor and Singapore. The agreement in which Riau Lingga sovereignity was first recognized by europan power was anglo dutch treaty of 1824. The treaty divided the Johor sultanate into 5.
Under Dutch influence:
Sutanate of Indragiri (in mainland Sumatra)
Sultanate of Riau Lingga (in Riau Islands)
Under British influence:
Singapore (governed by british empire)
Sultanate of Johor
Sultanate of Pahang
@@bebekdragon7604 hmmmm oh my bad you're right, it was just called Johor, Johor-Riau or some other combination.
interesting video, but the video should be a little longer and mention more of the historical advantages and disadvantages.
weird you did not mention Krakatoa volcano when in 1883 it made the loudest sound ever on earth.
Now I need to know who has the best geography in the universe

Indonesia is somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Specifically Sulawesi and Borneo.
It's such an intriguing part of the world.
Bro as an Indonesian, I've never left my home island (Java). Visiting those islands is also on my bucket list.
@@sayyiddaffam6822 same, but my first island i want to visit is Bali
as an indonesian born, raised, and lived in east kalimantan/borneo, i only visit java (western to central parts) due to familial ties, and it's only a visit to some city because even java the 'smallest of big island' is huge..
and kalimantan/borneo is massive, beside the east, i only ever goes to the north and south kalimantan. and in east kalimantan itself, i mainly goes to the 'coastal' parts a.k.a the central and eastern parts of the province. because of no railways in kalimantan, traveling on road is tiring, traveling between city by car is ranging from 1 hour, to 3 hours, to 8 hours, to 10-12 hours. and that's only on low traffics condition

this is a beautiful country, we have it all, plantation, mining, fishing, farming, tourists spots and many more
on weekend, we can either
1. go hike a mountain and camping
2. go snorkeling or enjoy beaches, not to forget we have beautiful waves for surfing
3. bewildered in forests or even swimming in the lake then camping or whatever you want
4. go to temple or pura or church or mosque
5. or maybe just staycation on the comfort of city hotel
6. the best of all is varieties of food and culinary

Once I talked with a Dutch man on an airport train here in Jakarta. He said, in the Netherlands, driving a car for 2-3 hours consider as a long trip. You could end up in another country. He also said, in Indonesia 3 hours flight and you still in Indonesia. Indonesia is big.
Wow. I know Indonesia is big. But I never really realized how big it is. 😂
