The Republic of Better Indonesia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Nathanael Octavianus with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.262 billion Indonesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jakarta. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Better Indonesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,856 trillion Rupiahs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 320,720 Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, the digital money revolution has cashed out, and religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Better Indonesia's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Better Indonesia is ranked 292,709^th in the world and 850^th in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -1127.65 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
