Nusantara, officially the Confederation of Nusantara, is a transcontinental country primarily located in Southeast Asia between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Compromising over 17,000 islands, Nusantara is the world's largest archipelagic state and the 12th-largest country by land area at 2,410,489 square kilometers (930,695 square miles). The Nusantaran archipelago is made up of five main islands—Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, and New Guinea—as well as two island chains: the Moluccas and the Lesser Sundas. The country shares maritime borders with Australia, Malaya, the Philippines, and the Solomon Islands. With a population of 308 million, Nusantara is the 4th most populous country.
Early humans arrived in modern-day Nusantara during the Pleistocene with fossilized remains of Java Man—a form of Homo erectus—dating back 1.5 to 1.7 million years ago. Modern humans arrived later around 50,000 years ago, followed by waves of migration of Austronesian peoples from Taiwan spanning multiple millennia from 4,000 to 2,000 BC. Being at the crossroads of East and South Asia, the region quickly became an important link for maritime trade and cultural exchange, which led to the rise of Indianized thalassocracies such as Srivijaya and Majapahit, and the spread of Hinduism, Buddhism, and later Islam in the 7th and 8th centuries by Arab and Indian traders.
