The Republic of Better Indonesia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Nathanael Octavianus with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.359 billion Indonesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The frighteningly efficient Better Indonesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,895 trillion Rupiahs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions.

Better Indonesia is ranked 522^nd in the world and 12^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,182.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
