                  PEOPLE

               Indonesians, especially the dominant Javanese, are quiet, polite, and
               friendly people who appreciate harmony, restraint, and modesty.
               Family and extended family are of primary importance. The elderly

                  most populous nation after China, India and the United States. As a result
                  of the implementation of a comprehensive family planning program over the
                  past two decades, Indonesia reduced its population growth rate from over

                    Sundanese - 14.0%;
                    coastal Malay - 7.5%;
                    Madurese - 7.5%;
                    other - 26.0%.

                The culture of Indonesia is fragmented into as many pieces as there
                 are ethnic groups. The characteristics of a number of the major ethnic
                 groups can give some taste of the culture of the country as a whole.

                 The Acehnese of northernmost Sumatra have been traders for more
                 than a thousand years and were one of the first to experience Islam in
                 Indonesia. They are predominantly agriculturists, fine metal workers,
                 weavers, potters, and boat builders. They combine their belief in
                Islam with a belief in mysticism.

                 The Badui who live in 35 small villages in West Java, believe that
                  they are descendants of gods and remain isolated from the outside
                  world. They adhere to a complex mythology with spirits and deities,
                  most of which are associated with the harvest. They remain hunters
                  and farmers.

                  The Balinese are a Hindu people who live in communal villages that
                  cooperate regarding the use of land. Families live in compounds that
                  contain the home, several courtyards, and small family shrines.

                  The Bataks, from the interior of north central Sumatra, are believed
                  to be a model of all ancient proto-Malay cultures of the Indonesian
                  archipelago. Unlike most Indonesians, they are known for their
                  outgoing, gregarious, and aggressive personalities and their volatile
                  tempers, and for their wood carving and weaving.

                  Dayaks are non Muslim groups who live along the rivers of inland
                  Kalimantan and practice a system of shifting cultivation. They also
                  still hunt and fish with spears and blowpipes. Shamans are
                  responsible for the community's welfare. Dayaks have a long
                  tradition of art, featuring wood and bamboo carving, tattooing,
                  weaving, beadwork, basketry, and mat plaiting.

                  The Javanese live in villages that contain between 300 and 3,000
                  people and practice wet rice farming. There is a great emphasis on
                  rank, status, age, and degree of familiarity that is reflected in nine
                  levels or distinctions in spoken Javanese. The people are gentle and
                  reticent, noted for their indirect style and their desire to avoid
                  confrontation. This ethnic group has developed batik into an art form,
                  which is well known throughout the world, and performances of the
                  gamelan and the shadow play.

                  The Minangkabau are Muslims from the highlands of west central
                  Sumatra who believe in spirits and supernatural beings and in the
                  importance of motherhood. In this area there are archaeological links
                  with the great Hindu kingdom of Majapahit as well as signs of Dutch
                  influence in the 19th century.

                  The overseas Chinese are found mainly in the port cities of
                  Indonesia, primarily in Java, eastern Sumatra, and western
                  Kalimantan. The Chinese have been successfully running businesses
                  in Indonesia for over two centuries. Chinese make up less than 3
                  percent of the population, but have some part in roughly 70-80
                  percent of all economic enterprise everything from small shops to
                  major banks and businesses.

            Language
            Bahasa Indonesia (Malay based) is the official language, but English, Dutch,
            about 25 local languages (primarily Javanese), and at least 250 dialects are also used.

            Religion
                Muslim - 87%;
                Protestant - 6%;
                Roman Catholic - 3%;
                Hindu - 2%;
                Buddhist - 1%;
                other - 1%.

               GOVERNMENT

    Indonesia (Republic Indonesia Republic of Indonesia) proclaimed its independence from the Netherlands on Aug. 17, 1945, although the Netherlands did not formally transfer sovereignty to the new state until Dec 27, 1949. Dr. Sukarno, a leader in the struggle for independence, was elected president at that time and served as head of state until March 1967. In August 1962, the Netherlands relinquished control of Irian Java (West Irian, the western part of the island of New Guinea) to Indonesia. On Jul. 17, 1976, East Timor, a Portuguese possession for some 400 years, was incorporated into Indonesia and became the country's 27th province. However, resistance to Indonesian rule by rebel guerrilla groups has resulted in continued fighting between and insurgent forces on the island and in 1993 the United Nations still did not recognize Indonesia's claim to the territory. Gen. Suharto took power in a March 1966 coup and was elected president a year later. He was reelected in seven consecutive elections, with his final term beginning in March 1998 and ending just two months later. In May 1998 Suharto handed power to Vice President B.J. Habibie following three months of anti-government student-led demonstrations that culminated in widespread rioting in Jakarta, the capital. Despite the transfer of power, effective political power still remains with the military establishment aided by Golkar, a government-sponsored coalition of "nonparty" functional groups.

    Structure: Unitary Republic with Sovereignty vested in the People.

    State Organs: According to the 1945 Constitution there are six organs of the state:
    1. The People's Consultative Assembly (Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat;
    2. The Presidency;
    3. The House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat);
    4. The Supreme Advisory Council (Dewan Pertimbangan Agung);
    5. The State Audit Board (Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan;
    6. The Supreme Court (Mahkamah Agung).

    State Philosophy : Pancasila, Five inseparable and mutually qualifying   fundamental principles. These are: Belief in the One Supreme God, Just and Civilized Humanity, the Unity of Indonesia, Democracy through deliberation  and consensus among representatives; and Social Justice for all the People of Indonesia.

    Constitution : 1945 Constitution.
    On Jul. 5, 1959, a presidential decree restored the original 1945 Constitution, which had been replaced by two provisional constitutions in 1950. It has since been permanently adopted by the People's Consultative Assembly and was supplemented by the General Elections Law of 1969. The 1945 Constitution establishes a strong presidential form of government with a highly centralized administrative structure. The preamble condemns all forms of colonialism and enshrines the Pancasila, or guiding principles of Indonesian government: belief in one supreme being, national unity, humanitarianism, democracy by representative consensus, and social justice.

    Flag: Red and White; divided horizontally, top-red and bottom-white.

    National Anthem : Indonesia Raya

    Legislative : 500 members in the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat/DPR); 1,000 members in the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). The 500 member Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (People's Representation Council) exercises legislative authority. Of its 500 members, 425 are directly elected and 75 are appointed by the president. The Council meets at least once a year. All laws must be approved by the Council, but the president has an absolute veto. While he or she may enact ordinances during times of emergency, they must be either ratified by the Council during its next session or voided. According to the Constitution, the highest authority in the state rests with the 1,000-member Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (People's Consultative Assembly), composed of the 500 House members and 500 other seats allocated to regional delegates, representatives of political organizations, and members of Golkar from the armed forces. The People's Consultative Assembly is required to meet at least once every five years. Its duties include electing the president and vice president, amending the Constitution, and approving the broad policy goals of the government. All decisions are made unanimously, in accord with the constitutionally mandated principle of government by consensus.

    Judiciary
    The Supreme Court, an independent judiciary and the highest appellate body. General elections are held every five years to elect representatives to the MPR and DPR at the national, regional and district levels. The MPR is Indonesia's highest authority to which the President is responsible.
    The judicial system consists of the Supreme Court, high courts in the major cities, and district courts. The courts administer three kinds of civil law: Shari'a (Islamic law) for Muslims; a civil code based on Roman law for Europeans; and a combination of the Code of Commerce and the Civil Code for other Asian groups, such as ethnic Chinese and Indians. Steps are being taken to codify these statutes, but the work has not yet been completed. The same criminal law applies to all ethnic and religious groups.

    Foreign Policy : Since its inception, the Republic of Indonesia has striven to maintain an "active and independent" foreign policy. It espouses a non aligned position by pursuing constructive, responsible relations with all nations. One integral factor in shaping Indonesia's foreign policy is it  participation in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which it co-founded in 1967 along with Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. Brunei joined in 1984. Indonesia was also one of the co-founders of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961 and was elected in 1991 to head the movement from 1992 to 1995. In 1991, Indonesia also received worldwide recognition for its key role in forging a peace settlement for Cambodia.

    Membership in International Organizations: Indonesia is active in the United Nations and many of its agencies; the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); the International Monetary Fund (IMF); International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank); the Islamic Development Bank (ADB); the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC); the Asian Development Bank (ADB); Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN); Asia Pacific Economic Conference (APEC); Group of 15 (G-15); Group of 77 (G-77); the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC); International Satellite Organization (INTEL SAT); International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); International Development Association (IDA); International Labor Organization (ILO); International Red Cross (IRC); World Tourism Organization (WTO) and others.

               TOURISM

                  The seemingly endless variety of both terrain and indigenous peoples found
                  throughout the giant Indonesian archipelago makes it one of the last great
                  frontiers for exploration and discovery left on earth. Indonesia's varied
                  scope of destinations and the broad range of amenities (from five-star
                  urban hotels to simple "home- stays" in locations accessible only by river or
                  by foot) attract a broad spectrum of tourist - from affluent recreation
                  seekers to budget-conscious travelers with a special interest in
                  ethnographic or geographical studies.

                Entry Requirements : All visitors to Indonesia must be in possession of a
                  passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended length of stay,
                  together with proof of onward passage in the form of either a return or
                  connecting tickets.

                  Automatic two month tourist visas are currently issued on arrival for
                  nationals of Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Canada,
