'''Nusantara''', officially the '''Confederation of Nusantara''', is a transcontinental country primarily located in [[Southeast Asia]] between the [[Indian ocean|Indian]] and [[Pacific ocean|Pacific]] oceans. Comprising over [[Islands of Nusantara|17,000 islands]], Nusantara is the world's largest archipelagic state and the [[List of countries and dependencies by area|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 [[Maluku Islands|Moluccas]] and the [[Lesser Sunda Islands|Lesser Sundas]]. The country shares maritime borders with [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]], [[Malaya]], the [[Wikipedia:Philippines|Philippines]], and the [[Wikipedia:Solomon Islands|Solomon Islands]]. With a population of 308 million, Nusantara is the [[List of countries and dependencies by population|4th most populous country]].

Early humans arrived in ~~modern-day Nusantara~~ during the Pleistocene with fossilized remains of [[Wikipedia:Java Man|Java Man]]—a form of ''[[Wikipedia:Homo erectus|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|Austronesian peoples]] from [[Taiwan]] spanning multiple millennia from 4,000 to 2,000 BC. Being at the crossroads of [[East Asia|East]] and [[South Asia]], the region quickly became an important hub for maritime trade, leading to the rise of [[Greater_India#Indianization_of_Southeast_Asia|Indianized]] thalassocracies such as [[Wikipedia:Srivijaya|Srivijaya]] and [[Wikipedia:Majapahit|Majapahit]], and the spread of [[Hinduism in Nusantara|Hinduism]], [[Buddhism in Nusantara|Buddhism]], and later [[Islam in Nusantara|Islam]] in the 13th to 15th centuries by Arab and Indian traders.

Threatened by the growing presence of European powers in the region, the confederation was initially formed as a defensive military pact between regional monarchies.

The [[Treaty of Singapore (1816)|Treaty of Singapore]] signed the following year established a unified Nusantaran state under a [[Constitution of Nusantara (1816)|federal constitution]] modeled after the [[United States]].

[[Origins of the Nusantaran Civil War|Decades of controversy]] regarding the role of religion in government led to the secession of 11 western Mandalas to form the [[Islamic Emirate of Nusantara]] in order to establish ~~a state governed by~~ [[~~Wikipedia:Sharia|~~Islamic ~~jurisprudence~~]]. Fighting against the [[Confederate (Nusantaran Civil War)|Confederation]] in a [[Nusantaran Civil War|civil war]] from 1860 to 1865, the Emirates were defeated and the country was reunited. Emerging from the war a more centralized state, the Reconstruction Era saw rapid [[Industrialisation|industrialization]], [[Modernization theory|modernization]], and overseas colonization.
