01The country
Indonesia is an archipelago in South-East Asia, made up of thousands of islands stretching between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The largest include Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo and New Guinea that it shares with neighbouring countries. The islands lie along a belt of volcanoes, and rainforests cover much of the land. The climate is tropical, with wet and dry seasons. Java is the most populous island, and Jakarta is the largest city, followed by cities such as Surabaya, Bandung and Medan. Indonesian is the national language, and hundreds of local languages are spoken by the country’s many ethnic groups.
The islands were home to powerful Hindu, Buddhist and later Islamic kingdoms, and became part of the Dutch colonial empire over several centuries. Indonesia proclaimed its independence in 1945, which the Netherlands recognised in 1949. The country is known for temples such as Borobudur and Prambanan, for batik textiles, gamelan music and shadow puppetry, and for the island of Bali. Its economy includes agriculture, such as palm oil and rubber, mining, manufacturing, tourism and services.

03Highs and lows
The two ends of its own record: every statistic on which Indonesia sits within ten places of the best or worst in the world, plus its strongest and weakest readings overall. Each is turned into a percentile — its place among every country measured — which is what lets a hunger score and a press-freedom rank be compared at all.
In the top third of all countries measured. 2 are within ten places of the best in the world, in a field of at least 50 countries — marked with that place.

A band is a place among the countries each publisher scores, so Indonesia can move because other countries moved. See the Country Index for the full method.
