| Summary: | Abstract In terms of population, Indonesia is the world’s fourth-largest country, with a 1990 population of 179 million. Although its land area is less than that of a number of countries with smaller populations, it is a far-flung archipelago, stretching across a distance greater than that from London to Moscow. The island of Borneo, most of which lies within Indonesia, is the third-largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea, almost half of which also lies within Indonesia. |
