BBC News

The above supplied population counts for each year listed above, look like utter fictitious nonsense. The total figures should be in the millions, not thousands. I have searched vainly so far for a reliable and sane source of information online for this data aside from the tentative estimates gathered since, which will be shown below when prepared.

* Footnotes

Indonesia is a vast archipelago that comprises over 17,000 Islands, which go to form a land mass equating to 1,919,440 square kilometres [735,355 square miles]. This means that Indonesia is the 19th largest country in terms of land mass and it has a high population density, too.

As the 4th most populous country on earth, Indonesia’s 2014 population is estimated at 253,899,536, an increase from 2013’s estimate of 250,585,668.

The last official census recording the population of Indonesia took place in 2010 and it showed that there were 237,424,363 people living on its 17,508 Islands. This equated to a population density of 123.76 people per square kilometer [323.05 per square mile]. Around 58% of Indonesia’s population live on the Island of Java and the statistics involved here make it the most populous island in the whole world.
