Personality
His mentality is a mix of being egoistic, nice and kind, stupid genius, honest, loyal, two faces, nationalistic, deeply religious, open-minded yet close-minded, a fanatical follower of a political figure, opportunistic, foreign culture lover, doubter, complainer, and blamer.

Appearance
He wears everything available depends on how the artists personified him. Clothing design is not limited, everyone is free to design him by themselves.

But he usually wore his iconic kopiah (fez) and/or caping (rice hat) to make people recognise him.

Interests
Indonesia loves spicy foods as much as South Korea and India does. He also adores his pet ”dragon”, Komodo. Indonesia is obsessed with KPOP because of how catchy and entertaining it is for him. And he is very focused whenever it comes to his religion.

Flag meaning
Do not confuse his flag with both Monaco's flag and Poland's flag. Monaco's red colour, in the top of the flag, is much darker whilst Poland‘s flag is upside down. This often happens.

Indonesia had a dual colour flag, red on top and white on the bottom with a 2:3 ratio size.

Red, in the flag, means bravery while white means purity.

Etymology
This name comes from a the Greek and Latin words : Indos (Ἰνδός) and Nesos (νῆσος), meaning Indian Islands. Interestingly, this name was used in the 18th century, before the Independence of Indonesia. This name was later picked up by the people living in East Dutch Indies ( a name before Indonesia ) and named this country, Indonesia.

Pre-Colonialisation
In the 7th century, there were two kingdoms, Majapahit and Srivijaya. Srivijaya, founded by Sumatra, is a powerful kingdom; it is great in trading. Srivijaya was also converted in Buddhism and Hinduism. Majapahit, founded by Java, was under Gajah Mada and all of the Majapahits are Hindus.

Islam was later used in the 13th century when merchant activities were spreaded by Arab Muslim Traders. It spread from Northern Sumatra to more islands and by the 16th century, Majapahit and Srivijaya were a dominant Muslim kingdom. Today, Indonesia is the most populated Muslim country.

Colonialisation
Portugal is the first European country that steps on Indonesia's land, fought and then they have Timor Leste. Followed by Spain, and then there is Netherlands, below Netherlands is VOC, a company that owns Indonesia but don't actually colonise Indonesia. Because VOC doesn't own all of Indonesia's land.

In December 31st 1799, VOC goes bankrupt and then Netherlands Kingdom began to take Indonesia's land within the name "Dutch East Indies". But then, France won in a war with the Netherlands and decided to colonised Indonesia indirectly.

After that, United Kingdom colonised Indonesia for 5 years, back to the Netherlands again until 1942, Japanese Empire colonised Indonesia for 3,5 years with the use of '''3A Propaganda. '''after the Japanese Empire lost in war, bombarded twice by America because Japanese   Empire attacked pearl harbour. Indonesia proclaimed on 17th August 1945, yet after the proclamation, the United Kingdom don't want to admit Indonesia's freedom and started military aggression with the help of the United Kingdom.

Present
On April 2019, there was an election between Prabowo and Joko Widodo. On May, Jokiwi was claimed president ; the Prabowo supporters did not like this so there was a 3-days war between the government polices and the Prabowo supporters. Prabowo thinks that Jokowi cheated so there will be evidence and conclude whether Jokowi will become president or not in October 2019.

Malaysia (Milo addict)
They both are rivals depending on the people, they sometimes mock each other, laugh at each other and sometimes act as nothing happened, but most of the time, they are friendly to each other.

Philippines
Indonesia doesn't really know much about him except Philippines godly singing, Indonesia also weirdly found that Philippines language is almost than the others even though they came from the same ancestor.

Singapore
Indonesia is sometimes jealous of Singapore as Singapore is richer. But he extremely feels grateful because he knows that Singapore is the major help of ASEAN.

Brunei Darussalam
Brunei has amazing oil resources and gives more money for the search of oil than Indonesia. Brunei and Indonesia also share the Borneo Rainforest and very much, they enjoy this welcoming relationshi.

Timor Leste (TimTim)
Indonesia pretty much still care about Timor even after Timor's independence, Indonesia did a bilateral relationship and helps/supports Timor so they can officially join ASEAN ( unfortunately, he didn’t join as Singapore notice he isn’t fully a developed country ). Timor Leste didn't exist until Portugal came in and colonised half of Timor's land, another half is Indonesia's.

Suriname
Indonesia didn't know Suriname, but Suriname is related to him due to the Javanese population, the Netherlands is, of course, the cause of the Javanese emigration, so many Javanese can't get back and forced to stay in Suriname, married with foreigners, and there we are.

New Caledonia
The same thing like Suriname, Indonesia maybe know their name but he doesn't know that they're related to him.

Russia (Komrad)
Best komrad, now a best friend again even though G30SPKI made Indonesia hate communists so much, that Indonesia also forgot that USSR was once his komrad. Keep the bilateral relationship going.

North Korea
Indonesia gave them orchid and they really loved it, Indo named the flowers "Kimilsungia".

America
Well, America actually helps him sometimes, but he also messed so many things up with Indo. Some Indonesians recognise America as a bad influence.

Japan
Indonesia and Japan have a strong relationship, although they used to be enemies. Japan notices that Indonesia is the most supportive country to Japan.

India
Indonesia sometimes called India as his idol, some Indonesians loved to watch India soap opera, Indian movies, stuff and oh, also Indonesia takes a lot of words from Sanskrit.

China
Even though they both share a seaborder, they have a good relationship because of their trade and of their very long history together.

South Korea
Indonesia is one of the heavy fans of K-Pop, which is great for South Korea.

Netherlands
He and the Netherlands used to hate each other until the Netherlands decided to communicate more in a friendly way. Today, they are now friends.

Palestine
Indonesia helps Palestines with aid, hospital, and so many things that are important to the people, and Indonesia sees Israel as a bully to Palestines.

Australia
They both are having a problematic relationship right now, but they're still fine as they both are welcoming neighbours.

Israel
Indonesia hates him, SO MUCH, that Indo don't admit him as a real country ; many Indonesians are angry at Israel as he bullies his brother Palestine, but secretly Indonesia and Israel did a trade like what countries do in a bilateral relationship.
