Geography question:
As you look at the map of Indonesia, imagine you are an ambitious politician who values democratic principles. What do you see on the map as your greatest challenge? What do you want to do to meet that challenge?
Demographics question:
How much of Indonesia’s land is arable? What percentage of the Indonesian workforce is involved in agriculture? What do these data suggest to you about how the Indonesian political system operates? Why do you think that?
Comparison question:
How does Indonesia’s population density (total population divided by the land area) compare with the US’ population density? Write a brief speculative essay about the impact these data have on differences between the Indonesian and US political systems. Explain the reasoning behind your speculations.
