Relationships

 * Netherlands

Known by many countries as the one who colonized Indonesia for 350 years, the relationship between both Indonesia and Netherlands were strained ever since he colonized, When he lost her to Japan, he tries to reclaim him when Japan surrendered with the help from England. However, they were repelled by both Indonesia and Japan. Now, at the current date, Indonesia doesn't really mind being with Netherlands. At times, other countries report seeing the two spending time at an eatery after a discussion.


 * Japan

Indonesia was very grateful when Japan came and drove the Dutch out of Indonesia, going far enough to call him brother. However, his exploitations in the three-and-a-half-years of conquering Indonesia left her battered, bruised and weak. However, after the war was over, he apologizes to her, assisting him in fighting both the Netherlands and England when they came to reclaim Indonesia as a colony. Ever since then, their relationship gradually grows, to the point where Indonesia trusts him to build the railway system in her country. At the current date, Japan and Indonesia's friendship hasn't deteriorated, and the two is frequently seen talking about Japan's anime.


 * ASEAN

As the oldest amongst the ASEAN nations, and the most culturally diverse, Indonesia takes it upon himself to become a role model to his fellow members. However, more often than not, Malaysia and Singapore have threatened to fine Indonesia unless she stops his slash-and-burn tactics at Riau forest. Apart from that, however, his other nations generally come to him for spiritual advice, as he generally mediates conflict between the countries, especially Cambodia and Thailand


 * Russia

Indonesia is one of the few countries who does not fear Russia at all. Despite the difference of historical events, these events shaped the two to have similar personalities. When Russia offered the two to become one, Indonesia politely declines his offer without even flinching. The two used to have a close relationship before 1965, when Indonesia's president presented an anti-communist policy. Since then, the two has grown further apart, until relations were restored during the mid 1900s. At the current date, Indonesia views Russia as her best friend, usually doing her military training with him when she gets the chance.


 * Australia

Indonesia and Australia's relationship was even closer compared to him and Japan. As old countries, he used to travel by boat towards Australia, when he was still fully aborigine. The two usually engage in hunting and trading.. However, when England colonized Australia, he was beyond notice, to the point where everything about him was different. Indonesia wonders whether he remembered the memories they share. However, he was one of those countries who opposed the Netherlands' re-colonization. At the current moment, Indonesia is still angry at him when he spied on her bathing, although now she's calmed down a bit.
 * England

England actually traded Indonesia over to Netherlands for both Singapore and Malaysia. But before that, he was quite abusive towards him draining his resources, although not at the rate similar to both Netherlands and Japan. However, England was also the one taught him English and traded his own food with hers (she couldn't keep her cool and told him that his cooking was rubbish.) Now, Indonesia and England both agreed on a partnership to work together and help with each other's growth (Indonesia had to explain that his food wasn't going to make her grow.)
 * China

China and Indonesia's relationship was solidified ever since the two tasted each other's food. Ironically, Asian countries are more fond of Indonesia because she 'doesn't try to force other's to purchase cheap, imitational knockoffs.' China grew really jealous, so Indonesia ended up purchasing his goods so he won't feel so bad.
 * North Korea & South Korea

Indonesia met the two when they were still living under the same house, and quickly became friends with them. When they separated, however, Indonesia continues to be friends with both of them, without discriminating against one another. North Korea considers him one of the only people he can trust,' and South Korea loves to share his drama, culture and food with him North Korea is generally jealous when South Korea does this, leading to South Korea sending letters to his house about what a k-drama between both countries would be like, to which he'd blush.
