The People's Republic of Indonesia (IPA: /ˌɪndoʊˈniːziːə/, /ˌɪndəˈniːziːə/) (Indonesian: Republik Rakyat Indonesia) is a nation in Southeast Asia. In addition to comprising the world's largest archipelago, it is also one of the world's most populous countries, boasting a population of over 265 million. It is one of the most diverse countries in the world, both culturally and geologically, home to a variety of languages, ethnic groups, and cultures; the diversity of its people is matched by a similarly high level of biodiversity (Indonesia is, in fact, considered a megadiverse country). The country is richly endowed with natural resources, and the standard of living is fairly high.
Nevertheless, due to the government's leftist orientation, relations remain periodically troubled with neighboring states, in particular the Philippines and the Australasian Union. While its internal and external politics are tempered by pragmatism and realism, the government nevertheless remains committed to the cause of socialism. President Ishak Makarim is the current head of state and head of government, and the Communist Party of Indonesia (Partai Komunis Indonesia, or PKI) is the governing party.
