Is Bali a country ? Do not take it wrong
en.satupiston.com - Bali, this place is the right vacation spot for those of us
who want to vacation while enjoying the beauty of a tropical island with sea
waves suitable for surfing. But, where is Bali? Is Bali a country?
I often watch Youtube videos, and often see people from
outside Indonesia such as Japanese to British who know Bali.
Yes, most people outside Indonesia know Bali because they
have been to Bali. But there is one funny statement when many people outside
Indonesia think that Bali is an independent country.
Is Bali a Country?
If you think that Bali is a country, then you are wrong!
Because Bali is part of Indonesia. Yes, Bali is an island and also a province
in Indonesia.
If you think that Bali is in India, the United States, or
Australia, then you are wrong too. Because Bali is 100% part of the Negara
Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI).
This makes me sad sometimes, because outsiders in Indonesia
who have been to Bali think that Bali is a country or part of a country other
than Indonesia. They know Bali, but they don't know Indonesia.
But that's okay, and there are no prizes if you know that
Bali is part of Indonesia.
However, you will be a little confused about managing
documents if you later want to go to Bali but don't know that Bali is part of
Indonesia.
About Bali
Bali is part of Indonesia in the form of an island. The
capital city of Bali is Denpasar and the majority of the population is Hindu.
Bali people speak Balinese, so in addition to Indonesian and
English, local Bali people also use the local Balinese language.
In 2020, Bali's population is 4,317,404 people. The area of
Bali is 5,780.06 km2.
At the beginning of Indonesia's independence, the island of
Bali was included in the Sunda Kecil Province, whose capital city was
Singaraja. But now, the Sunda Kecil Province has been divided into three namely
Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara.
Maybe you will ask, why do people like and want to visit
Bali? The answer is simple, in Bali, you can see natural panoramas, perfect
waves for surfing, and cheap vacation costs.
The reason Bali is often considered the country of Bali
There are several reasons why Bali is considered a country.
These reasons are as follows:
1. Don't Know Indonesia
The first reason is because you or we are not familiar with
Indonesia. Yes, naturally, Indonesia is not a country that is quite famous in
the world like America, Japan, or China.
2. Unlike Indonesia in General
Some are familiar with Indonesia, but they think that
Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world.
Yes, it is true that Indonesia is a country with the largest
Muslim population in the world. However, Bali is a unique area, because the
majority of the Balinese population is Hindu and Islam is a minority religion,
but from the data, Islam in Bali is number 2 after Hinduism in terms of the
number of adherents.
3. Many Foreigners
Another reason why foreigners think Bali is a country is
because there are many foreigners in Bali.
Yes, Bali is often visited by world tourists. And maybe that
is the reason why we think that Bali is a country and not part of Indonesia.
In Bali there are no trains
Have you ever been to Bali and not seen a train? Relax, it's
natural! Bali is one part of Indonesia that is not touched by rail traffic.
But the good news is that Bali is one of the areas in
Indonesia that has the best road quality. So if you visit Bali, don't forget to
take a walk to the city center, OK!
