Indonesia’s many islands lie in arcuate rows along the continental shelves, often with deep-sea tombs on the convex side. Typical of the islands topography are steep mountain ranges, rows of volcanoes and low plains along the coasts. Indonesia’s location on both sides of the equator provides a humid tropical climate.

According to the country’s constitution, which is largely from 1945, Indonesia is a republic and ruled by a president and his government. Presidential elections are held every five years. The House of Representatives, which is elected for five years, has the legislative power. The country became independent in 1949.

Indonesia has the conditions for a stable economy with good assets in oil, natural gas and minerals as well as a well-functioning agriculture and a growing industrial and service sector. However, the financial crisis of 1997, together with extensive droughts, widespread forest fires and falling oil revenues, became devastating for the country’s economy. In order to get out of the crisis, Indonesia initiated cooperation with the International Monetary Fund and committed to comprehensive structural reforms. During the 2000s, the economy has recovered, but major social and domestic political problems remain.
