Geography and history<\/a><\/h2>\n

Indonesia is a unique<\/a> state. There is no other island<\/a> state in the world that is located on 17,800 islands at once. At the same time, at least half of these small area<\/a>s of land are not only not suitable for living, but have not even been awarded names. Among tourists<\/a>, you can hear the names of only the most famous island<\/a>s – these are Sumatra, Bali<\/a> and Java.<\/p>\n

Most of the islanders living are Muslims. But Indonesian women are not subject to such severe persecution from men, as can be seen in most Muslim countries.

Even the spheres of bus<\/a>iness and public administration are available to the fairer sex.<\/p>\n

Discoveries continue to this day. So, last year, scientists discovered two new species of rats at once.<\/p>\n

Among the inhabitants of the islands, there are often unique specimens. For example, only on the island of Java you can get acquainted with the Javanese rhinoceros, and on the neighboring ones you can see<\/a> the last representatives of the dragon family – Komodo. These rare reptiles are under state protection, and their habitat has long been included in the national park<\/a>.<\/p>\n
