Republik Indonesia disingkat RI atau Indonesia adalah negara di Asia Tenggara, terletak di garis khatulistiwa dan berada di antara benua Asia dan Australia serta antara Samudra Pasifik dan Samudra Hindia. Karena letaknya yang berada di antara dua benua, dan dua samudra, ia disebut juga sebagai Nusantara (Kepulauan Antara). Terdiri dari 17.508 pulau, Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia. Dengan populasi sebesar 222 juta jiwa pada tahun 2006,[4] Indonesia adalah negara berpenduduk terbesar keempat di dunia dan negara yang berpenduduk Muslim terbesar di dunia, meskipun secara resmi bukanlah negara Islam. Bentuk pemerintahan Indonesia adalah republik, dengan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat dan presiden yang dipilih langsung. Ibukota negara ialah Jakarta. Indonesia berbatasan dengan Malaysia di Pulau Kalimantan, dengan Papua Nugini di Pulau Papua dan dengan Timor Leste di Pulau Timor. Negara tetangga lainnya adalah Singapura, Filipina, Australia, dan wilayah persatuan Kepulauan Andaman dan Nikobar di India.
Sejarah Indonesia banyak dipengaruhi oleh bangsa lainnya. Kepulauan Indonesia menjadi wilayah perdagangan penting setidaknya sejak sejak abad ke-7, yaitu ketika Kerajaan Sriwijaya menjalin hubungan agama dan perdagangan dengan Tiongkok dan India. Kerajaan-kerajaan Hindu dan Buddha telah tumbuh pada awal abad Masehi, diikuti para pedagang yang membawa agama Islam, serta berbagai kekuatan Eropa yang saling bertempur untuk memonopoli perdagangan rempah-rempah Maluku semasa era penjelajahan samudra. Setelah sekitar 350 tahun penjajahan Belanda, Indonesia menyatakan kemerdekaannya di akhir Perang Dunia II. Selanjutnya Indonesia mendapat tantangan dari bencana alam, korupsi, separatisme, proses demokratisasi dan periode perubahan ekonomi yang pesat.
Dari Sabang sampai Merauke, Indonesia terdiri dari berbagai suku, bahasa dan agama yang berbeda. Suku Jawa adalah grup etnis terbesar dan secara politis paling dominan. Semboyan nasional Indonesia, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Berbeda-beda tetapi tetap satu"), berarti keberagaman yang membentuk negara. Selain memiliki populasi besar dan wilayah yang padat, Indonesia memiliki wilayah alam yang mendukung tingkat keanekaragaman hayati terbesar kedua di dunia.
