Indonesia & Australia
The difference between a Developed and Developing nation
Developing and Developed Nations: What's the difference?
If a nation is very wealthy and is in no debt to other countries, that nation is better off in the long run, and then the nation will go up in the chain. But if a nation is in debt, and doesn't have enough money, it might go towards a developing nation.
So, the difference between the two types of nations are the differences of what makes the nation what it is. Whether it is education, employment, economical, or geographical differences.
What is an Indicator?
Indonesia: A Developing Nation
Indonesia is a developing nation. This nation is found right above Australia, around North-West of it. It is the fourth most populous nation, and has around 2 million square km of land. It is a developing nation as it isn't one of wealthiest or successful countries. Some of their indicators (an aspect of a certain part of a nation) that put Indonesia in the developing nation list include:
- 92% improved water source
- A low-medium life expectancy
- Low Health Expenditure of $77 (US currency)
- Low amount of technology
- The seperation line between "wealthy" and "poor" is very defined
Map of Indonesia
As we can see, Indonesia is not a country, but a nation of different islands bunched together. It is located above Australia (North-West) and is in teh Indian Ocean)
Poverty
In recent years, the poverty in Indonesia has reduced, but there still are many people who live out in the streets.
Architecture
While there is poverty in Indonesia, there is still a good amount of wealth and beauty, where buildings come in. There are many palaces, with a great deal of beauty behind them.
Australia: A Developed Nation
Australia: A place of wonder, desert and wealth. Australia is a developed nation. With a low population compared to our huge land area ( Around 7.5 million km squared) and our isolation from other developed countries, Australia has a very good reputation for it. Indicators that contribute to it's status include:
- It's 100% improved water source
- Around 3/4 of the population technologically advanced
- A mortality rate (under 5 per 1000 births) of only 5
- A high life expectancy
- Health Expenditure of almost $5000 per person
Map of Australia
Australia is located between the Indian Ocean, the Tasman Sea and the Caspian Sea. Australia is it's own continent.
Wildlife
Australia has a unique variety of wildlife and flora. Australia holds the only mammals that lay eggs and have some of the deadliest species of animals on the face of the earth.
City Life
When some nations think of Australia, they think of desert and everybody riding kangaroos. This is kinda wrong (well, the kangaroo bit). Even though quite a bit of Australia is desert, Australians mostly (80-85%) live on the coast in suburban/city areas.

THE CONCLUSION
So, just because two nations are close to each other, it doesn't mean that they are in the same status.
