Indonesia Baru

Indonesia Baru is a small, developing, and young nation at 16 days old with citizens primarily of Mixed ethnicity who follow mixed religions. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'.

Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Indonesia Baru work diligently to produce Gold and Silver as tradable resources for their nation.

It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. When it comes to nuclear weapons Indonesia Baru will not research or develop nuclear weapons.

Plans are on the way within Indonesia Baru to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Indonesia Baru allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers.

It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Indonesia Baru believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government.

The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Indonesia Baru will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

Etymology
The name Indonesia derives from the Latin and Greek Indus, and the Greek nèsos, meaning "island". The name dates to the 18th century, far predating the formation of independent Indonesia. In 1850, George Windsor Earl, an English ethnologist, proposed the terms Indunesians — and, his preference, Malayunesians — for the inhabitants of the "Indian Archipelago or Malayan Archipelago". In the same publication, a student of Earl's, James Richardson Logan, used Indonesia as a synonym for Indian Archipelago. However, Dutch academics writing in East Indies publications were reluctant to use Indonesia. Instead, they used the terms Malay Archipelago (Maleische Archipel); the Netherlands East Indies (Nederlandsch Oost Indië), popularly Indië; the East (de Oost); and Insulinde.

After 1900, the name Indonesia became more common in academic circles outside the Netherlands, and Indonesian nationalist groups adopted it for political expression. Adolf Bastian, of the University of Berlin, popularized the name through his book Indonesien oder die Inseln des Malayischen Archipels, 1884–1894. The first Indonesian scholar to use the name was Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara), when he established a press bureau in the Netherlands with the name Indonesisch Pers-bureau in 1913.
