Map: Indonesia in 1976, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Indonesia in 1976, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 2.05 million km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

10 rulers, 10 with terms dated as terms, covering 1945 – 2024. Median reign 3 years. 7 of 9 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
