Indonesia is a Tier VI island nation in Southeast Asia and Oceania .

Indonesia is recognized as one of the most powerful countries in the Southeast Asian region due to its extensive territory and sizable population. As Indonesia is primarily composed of islands, it heavily relies on establishing naval superiority to defend its homeland and deter maritime threats.

Indonesia shares borders with Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Timor-Leste, while it shares maritime borders with Brunei, Singapore, the Philippines, Christmas Island, Palau, and Australia.

Background

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of more than seventeen thousand islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo (Kalimantan) and New Guinea (Papua). Indonesia is the world's largest island country and the 14th-largest country by land area, at 1,904,569 square kilometers (735,358 square miles). With more than 270.2 million people, Indonesia is the world's fourth-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.

The sovereign state is a presidential, constitutional republic with an elected legislature. It has 34 provinces, of which five have special status. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the eastern part of Malaysia. Other neighbouring countries include Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, Palau, and India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support one of the world's highest levels of biodiversity.

Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups, with the largest one being the Javanese. A shared identity has developed with the motto "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a Muslim-majority population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. The economy of Indonesia is the world's 16th largest by nominal GDP and 7th by GDP at PPP. Indonesia is the only regional power in Southeast Asia and is considered a middle power in global affairs. The country is a member of several multilateral organizations, including the United Nations, World Trade Organization, G20, and a founding member of Non-Aligned Movement, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), East Asia Summit, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Economy

Indonesia begins with an income of $2,524,331, with $263,021 coming from natural resources. Due to Indonesia is abundant with many cities that hold over a million population, it is capable of rapidly developing urbanized centers and construct mines across resource-producing cities, which will strengthen the economy.

Resources

Indonesia is overall resource poor, as it lacks significant amount of critical resources that can be used for industrialization. However, it is capable of expanding overseas, eventually accumulating a heavy stockpile of high-valued materials.

Threats

• China is the number one threat, as it is a global superpower and dominates over Indonesia, both militarily and economically, but also has a tendency to expand towards the Southeast Asian region.
• Japan is the second most common threat, as it requires Indonesia to form the Empire of Japan. It is capable of waging a robust military due to its sheer economic power.
• Any nation attempting to reunify the Federation of Southeast Asian States, which requires the annexation of Indonesia. Nations that commonly form this in exclusion of Indonesia includes: Vietnam, Philippines, and in some occasions, Thailand.
• Netherlands requires Indonesia in order to form the Dutch Empire.
• Australia expanding northwards.

Strategy

As Indonesia, ally China as it has major influence over the South China Sea. If you want, you can ally India, but that will may not be beneficial to your strategy. You can ally others if you want, but these are the major powers in the region. The first thing you should do for all these strategies is enact Press Censorship, and set your taxes to HIGH, and the Military Service act, to boost your economy from 2 to 2.5 million.

Offensive Strategy

1. Ally Japan as they are likely to invade you eventually. You can defend against the Japanese by building up your navy and placing at least 20k troops per island with the major ones having at least 70k and 1k artillery. Place forts on major cities.

1. Forming the Srivijaya Empire
   • Singapore: Justify a conquest war goal, bring ~100k infantry and annex it.
   • Brunei: Justify a conquest war goal, bring ~80k infantry and annex it.
   • Malaysia: Justify a conquest war goal, bring around 3 groups of ~100k infantry, use one to kill the home guard and then set them all to auto capture.
   • If you wanna get rid of your troops to come slow because of the sea, spam infantries at Sumatra and Borneo, they can give you some time invading Major Cities at West and East Malaysia
   • If you've done that, congrats, you have formed the Srivijaya Empire
2. Justify on Australia. most people avoid Australia so it will allow you gain a large MP boost along with resources.
   • While you're at it, invade Papua New Guinea.
   • Use about ~200k infantry or ~5k tanks to invade Australia.

There are several possibilities at this point in the game because a Chinese player could be expansionist or be neutral. It is likely they go on the former route.

Colonizer Strategy

1. African Colonies
   • Invade Madagascar then make landings in Mozambique then to other East African Nations.
   • After that just invade whatever you please, but watch out for Egypt, South Africa, and any European powers wanting to colonize the continent.
2. Becoming a Superpower
   1. Wait till the late game or join a server that's around 2037-ish when it's just you and maybe another power.
   2. If available Conquer and Form the Federation of Southeast Asian States.
   3. Choose your target: India or China.
   4. If China is your target, then you should capital snipe the country. Due to China's large array of releasables, taking his capital will not only ruin the Chinese stability, but break-away states will start declaring independence from China, further weakening it.
   5. If India is your target, then you should make the Federation of Southeast Asian States, amass a huge army, and invade. it is highly recommended to divide some of your army into large divisions, and to AI-Lure India's troops.
   6. After you take over India or China, you will no doubt be a strong nation, and can therefore easily take the other target.

Reunite the Nusantara with Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Timor Leste and Papua New Guinea

1. Make sure to look at the chat to get an insight on any potential threats, trade offers, and diplomacy requests.
2. If so, make sure to get a lot of warships as Indonesia is a very strategic place because an attacker has to jump 17 to capture all of your cities
3. This will buy you some time to prepare.
4. If the attacker comes from Asia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma and China make sure to secure the Gulf of Thailand and the strait of Malacca. This will immediately slow down the enemy because most players use the Gulf to jump to Malaysia and the island of Kalimantan. Securing this area will most likely avoid any landings in Sumatra.
5. If the attack is from Japan or the Philippines, make sure you secure the Kalimantan Philippines Sea border and secure the Indo-Pacific Ocean. This will avoid an attack to the island of Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua.
6. If the attack is from India secure the Strait of Malacca and the Sea of Aceh. It will avoid an attack or at least slow down the enemy's invasion, giving you time to prepare and defend Sumatra.
7. Make sure to put artillery on the islands you are securing as if an enemy may pass through your naval blockade.
8. It's highly recommended to have a reserve infantry and artillery if the army and defenses take a toll on your economy.
9. Use the reserve infantry to attack straight to the capital (if China, Philippines, Vietnam or Japan) use the reserve artillery to hold the captured capital and use the remaining reserve infantry to attack other nearby cities and scorch them and scorch the enemy capital if the enemy manage to destroy your reserve artillery.
10. This will ruin the enemy's economy and stability and some country that your enemy has annexed may gain independence (China is more likely to fall).
