Why do you never hear news out of Indonesia?
17000 islands
Literally NPC the country
no salient cultural influence, aren't really associated with anything
For example:
china - mass production, our rival, chinese food, great wall, etc.
india - gandhi, curry, yoga
pakistan - that one country with terrorists
brazil - jesus statue
earthquake and tsunami
That's Japan you dingus
tfw
Artificial country with no core culture
they suffer as much as we do
and volcanoes
this
This. It’s one of those countries where something happens and you hear about it but it’s just there as filler
iktf
And yet it's still a shithole
Teach us how to become relevant?
Bee urself.
This but unironically.
invade your neighbors
This
For me, Indonesia is associated with the super-volcano that erupted thousands of years ago and almost killed the human species.
No, that's Belize
>Literally just next to Mexico, between it and Cuba
>Bigger than Israel
>Bigger population than Iceland
>English speaking
You hear about Jamaica or Haiti but not belize. No Mexicans or central Americans ever remember it, unless you mention them.
Is so weird how irrelevant they are.
is it true that a lot of indonesian girls stay virgins after 25? I got a friend who told me that and she says it's normal, I didn't believe it
Yes, most girls unironically condemn sex before marriage and casual free sex. There's also a coined term "penjahat kelamin" (lit. sex offender. In hentai, that would be called "virgin hunter") that used for a man that love stealing girls' virginity.

Gotta say I respect that, God bless them.
Indonesians are wholesome and just want to live their lives in peace, don't bully them.
Imagine not being able to drive from one end of your country to the other without the use of ferries.

Can you drive to Alaska and Hawaii?
Yep.

4th most populated country in the world and most people don't even know they exist. Indonesians themselves didn't even remember they had a seafaring empire until a Dutch archaeologist stumbled on some ancient ruins and started doing all the research.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more unremarkable people.
we hear about Indonesia all the time, although even as our neighbours, we could not be two more different countries
their "country" is really split up between very different islands so they have a lot of trouble coordrinating anything
generally poor island-folk, and giant messy metropolises like Jakarta
>mfw america forced indonesian independence
Joking aside, we probably gave it to them in the 70s if they didn't force it, but it would probably be somewhat better with technology and infrastructure. The Indonesian immigrants here are the best non-western immigrants, so it's not a cultural thing they are not a superpower with that much land.
I hear about them quite often, but it's always about a natural disaster (that seem to happen every month there), muslim radicalism on the rise or poverty in general.
I feel sorry for my reversed brothers.
just keep their McCarthysm about China and they will be fine
this and almost zero presence among immigrants except in Dutch
most of their immigrants in US are Chinese larping as Indonesian
Better version of Malaysia
there are 2 million of them in malaysia mr kim
i meant in the west
stop being muslim and become buddhist
its upside down Poland with hobbits and they get washed into the ocean fairly frequently
They re pretty good at killing commies, at least
my aunt is 46 years old and is still a virgin
Stop wearing those silly hats.
At least Indon is more well known than us. We on the other hand are literally irrelevant even when we make news over and over again.
Your country was already bad thanks to VOC, mate. It was unthinkable to imagine that we wouldn't ask for independent if we got a chance.
make anime
More like the Based Jaoanese crushed the Dutch and then American propaganda started to diss them.
Indonesia has Bali which is beautiful
I wish we could be in a "irrelevant" location yet big population and territory like Indonesia. Instead we're next to the Shart Mart and it's endless memery
>more unwelcoming to foreigners and tourists than any other Asian country
Really? How and why?
I love you too sweetheart.
