Formation

The United States of Indonesia was formed in May 15th, 1998, immediately after the Civil War ended. The Civil War started 10 years ago, in 1988. During the Civil War, Indonesia was in total chaos. Major crimes escalated to an all-out war between mobs & law enforcer, raping were occurred almost everywhere, & the capital, Jakarta, was described as "a major battlefield / warzone". The nation was overthrown into anarchy, with most places are not safe, especially for Chinese ethnics. By the time the war ended, barely any of the infrastructure intact & the economy was in a level of deficit. The law the new government use was the law that were created after the Indonesian National Revolution, the 1945 Constitution, although they made several amendments.

The war began when President Soeharto refused to step down from power as he's no longer in favor of the nation's peoples. After a few weeks, the dark side of his presidency was leaked to the public, which no one knew who or where did it came from. These dark sides include assassinations, black ops, corruption, etc. This caused major uproar among the public after a former member of his cabinet confirmed this leaked info. The nation would later degrade into a state of civil war, though not in open (indirect). However, in 1997 - 1998, the nation got hit by the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, which caused the economy of the country to got cut in half, & got worse as the civil war was openly fought in every major city of the country. This caused the nation's economy & infrastructure to the point of nearly collapsed. The President was forced to step down & he was banished to a unknown island. The civil war ended, marked with the declaration of the new nation, now known as the United States of Indonesia.
