Indonesia is the biggest Islands country in the world, it is placed in South East of Asia, placed between Pacific ocean dan Hindia ocean. Because it place between two continent and two ocean, it called Nusantara ( the Island between ). Indonesia ha Malaysia as it neighbour in Kalimantan Island and Papua Nusini in Irian Jaya Island, and not to forget Timor Leste in Timor Island. The word Indonesia came from Greek, Indos mean India and Nesos mean Island. Indonesia means the Island in India region, the one who first use the Indonesia word is Sir Rafles, a Dutch Colonialist. Right now indonesia has 33 province including 2 Special area ( Nangroe Aceh Darussalam and Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta ) and one special Capital City Jakarta. before 1999, East Timor once belong to Indonesia, and then separated itself through referendum to became Timor Leste country.
