Indonesia is a country in Asia with a population of 275,100,265. Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago, is a land of volcanoes, rainforests, and over 17,000 islands. Indonesians are proud of their batik textiles, gamelan music, and a tradition of gotong royong (mutual cooperation). Islam is the dominant faith, but Bali’s Hindu ceremonies, Christian churches in the east, and indigenous rituals in Papua create a spiritual landscape as diverse as the islands themselves.
