Indonesia
is the place where I can stand and live. It is a country in Southeast
Asia and Oceania. Indonesia, as I know it well, is an archipelago
comprising at around 17,000 islands. It has 33 provinces with over 230
million people, including myself and is the world's fourth most populous
country.
I stand for years here, wasting my time to work hard for its beauty. This country is too much perfect to live in, especially the nation's capital city, Jakarta, the city in which I fall in love.
The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia; but no borders of my heart with Indonesia at all. All people know that other neighboring countries of Indonesia are Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. All of them are only neighbors which do not really love it as well as I do.
With its islands, Indonesia gives me many friends from distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest—and the politically dominant—ethnic group. Due to Nationalism, I and my friends will always get together for sharing identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism, within a majority Muslim population.

I will hold this country with the real spirit and power with its national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country.
Despite
its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast
areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of
biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet
poverty remains widespread. (Taken from : Indonesia)
