Male:
He wears everything available depending on how the artists personify him. Clothing design is not limited, everyone is free to design him by themselves.

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

Female:
For fem Indonesia, she usually has a flower on her head, But some people Use Hijab for her Appearance They usual

Personality
Indonesia’s mentality is a mix of being egotistic, 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.

Interests
Indonesia loves spicy foods as much as South Korea and India do. They also adore their pet ”dragon”, Komodo. Indonesia is obsessed with K-POP because of how catchy and entertaining it is for them, but never forgets the anime! Indonesia is very focused whenever it comes to their religion.

Some artist draws them with a short height.

Flag meaning
Do not confuse Indonesia’s flag with both Monaco's flag and Poland's flag. Monaco's red color, 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.

They actually got their flag when they got their independence from Netherlands; they tore the blue strip of the flag.

Other symbols
Indonesia does not have more than 1 symbol. They have only one. The one you know, The Garuda. It is one of the most common national symbols of Indonesia, following with the Komodo dragon.

Nicknames
Besides by ”Indo” as their most common nickname -for the Countryhumans Wiki- Indonesia has a lot more nicknames, which are, surprisingly, more than you can expect :
 * Emerald of the Equator
 * Archipelago
 * Agriculture State
 * Nyiur State
 * Balinesia
 * Garuda
 * State of a Thousand Temples
 * Thousand Islands State
 * State Megabiodiversitas
 * Heaven Earth
 * World Lung
 * The Big Muslim Population
 * Our Large Neighbor To The North and Our Asian Nearest Neighbour
 * Asian Tiger
 * Nesia
 * Indon (by Malaysia, but Indonesia hate this nickname)
 * Indomie Addict

Although they are very strange names, they are nicknames to Indonesia as they are named because of their very interesting culture and geographical site.

Origins of languages
Indonesian, which originated from Malay, is a member of the Austronesian family of languages, which includes languages from Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean and Madagascar, with a smaller number in continental Asia.

Etymology
This name comes from 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 the country, Indonesia.

Pre-Colonization
In the 7th century, there were more than two kingdoms, but the strongest one is 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 spread 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.

Colonization
Portugal is the first European country that steps on Indonesia's land, fought and then they have Timor Leste. Followed by Spain (to get the whole islands of the Philippines), and then there is Netherlands, below Netherlands is VOC, a company that owns Indonesia but don't actually colonize 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 colonized Indonesia indirectly.

After that, United Kingdom colonized Indonesia for 5 years, back to the Netherlands again until 1942. During this year Japanese Empire attacked Indonesia because it was a Dutch colony and encouraged Indonesian to have a nationalist speech, so they were seen as a liberator. But they fast change their opinion because they were persecuted and used by the Japanese Empire. To gain their support they tried to train Indonesian's soldiers to fight the Allies, but the army was more useful for Indonesia which used it for the independence of the country. The Japanese occupation stopped when it was defeated in 1945. Indonesia proclaimed on 17th August 1945, yet after the proclamation, the United Kingdom doesn't want to recognize Indonesia's freedom and started military aggression with the help of the United Kingdom which soon sparked a war, this war was referenced as The Battle Of Surabaya.

Coup d'état of 1965 and New Order Era
In 1960, TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia/Indonesian republic television) was established and Indonesia soon hosted the 1962 Asian Games. On the 30th of September 1965, six generals were killed by a group calling themselves the 30 September Movement (or abbreviated as G30S/Gerakan 30 September) who alleged a right-wing plot to kill the President. The Communist party of Indonesia (PKI) was quickly blamed and soon an anti communist purge occurred killing an estimate of 500,000 to a million citizens, the generals bodies were later buried into a hole which was infamously called Lubang Buaya (Crocodile Hole). Today, this site is preserved in the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah park located at East Jakarta. In 1967, Soekarno resigned as The President Of Indonesia and power was passed to General Soeharto and in the same year, Indonesia alongside Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Philipines established ASEAN and became the founding fathers. From 1968, Indonesia's economy was booming and thriving. Eventually, Indonesia has the highest GDP in South East Asia. However, in 1997 the Asian Financial Crisis occurred, Indonesia was the worst to be hit by the Asian Financial Crisis. 1998 was even worst, unemployment, inflation in fuel and basic necessities, mass riots caused by the Trisakti University Shooting, arsons, destruction of property, clashes and looting lead to many foreign and Indonesian citizens to evacuate affected areas such as Jakarta and Medan. Suharto resigned on the 21st of May 1998 after almost 32 years of power, eventually Suharto was replaced by Vice President B.J Habibie. The New Order Era ends and Indonesia's economy improved in 1999. In the same year Timor Leste became independent but under UN watch.

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-day war between the government policies 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.

On the end of June, Prabowo surrendered and gave up. He confessed that he was telling a lie, and so Jokowi, the new president of Indonesia, is gaining his presidency the 2nd time.

Geography
It is the world's largest island country, with more than seventeen thousand islands, and at 1,904,569 square kilometres (735,358 square miles), the 14th largest by land area and the 7th largest in the combined sea and land area. With over 261 million people, it is the world's 4th most populous country as well as the most populous Muslim-majority country. Java, the world's most populous island, is home to more than half of the country's population. Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups, with the largest—and politically dominant—ethnic group being the Javanese. A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a Muslim-majority population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country.

Resources and Trade
The country has abundant natural resources like oil and natural gas, tin, copper and gold. Agriculture mainly produces rice, palm oil, tea, coffee, cacao, medicinal plants, spices and rubber. Indonesia's major trading partners are China, the United States, Japan, Singapore and India.

Past Versions

 * Majapahit Empire
 * Srivijaya Empire
 * Dutch East Indies

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 her except Philippines godly singing, Indonesia also weirdly found that Philippines language is almost similar than the others even though they came from the same ancestor.

Singapore
Indonesia is sometimes jealous of Singapore as Singapore is richer, but they extremely feels grateful because Indonesia 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 relationship.

Timor-Leste (TimTim)
Despite the traumatic past, relations with Indonesia are generally positive after 2002. Indonesia is by far the largest trading partner of East Timor (Approximately 50% of imports, 2005) and is steadily increasing its share. Although their relations have a neutral tension between them.

Suriname
Indonesia didn't know Suriname, but Suriname is related to him because of 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 as Suriname, Indonesia maybe knows their name, but he doesn't know that they're related to him nor knows much about them.

Russia (Komrad)
Best comrade, now a best friend again even though G30SPKI made Indonesia hate communists so much, that Indonesia also forgot that USSR was once his comrade (the USSR helped Indo in Operation Trikora and made Indo the fourth strongest military at that time). Keep the bilateral relationship going.

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

United States
Well, America helps Indonesia sometimes, but they also messed so many things up with Indo (like Tim Tim). Some Indonesians recognize 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 in Japan, as Japan's economy depends on Indonesia much.

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 sea border, they have a good relationship because of their trade and of their very long history together. Even if the most histories of them filled with both tragedy and drama.

South Korea
Indonesia is one of the heavy fans of K-Pop (Indo usually goes nuts for it), which is great for South Korea. South Korea, itself is a great trading partner with Indonesia and has made a few navy ships with Indonesia.

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

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

Australia
They both are having a problematic relationship but they're still fine as they both are welcoming neighbors.

Israel
Indonesia hates Israel, SO MUCH, that Indo doesn't even recognize Israel as a real country; many Indonesians are angry at Israel as they bullies their child Palestine, but secretly Indonesia and Israel trade like what countries do in a bilateral relationship.
