    Yes, I mispronounced it intentionally. It's a lot weirder if you haven't seen the Bill Wurtz video
    I didn't show all of the colonization but you can check the save file on this discord to see that I did get them. (Or you just zoom in on the teaser image)
    Uhhh maybe 1k likes on this video? Nice thx

    It's probably over 25000, but it is very difficult to count exactly. What is the definition of an island? And some authorities in the area are not clear about this. For this example I'm going to use the country of Indonesia: in 1996, Indonesia just said "we're not going to count all this, but we claim Indonesia consists out of 17508 islands". But other sources claim anywhere between 13000 and 18000. And I suppose this number varies just as well with all the other countries in the region, and the region as a whole.

    as japan i pretty much only ever do island only conquest. Mostly because i find the idea of japan onthe mainland disgusting.
    though usually I'm fine with vassalizing Korea and Malacca for dat sweet sweet trade (and staging ground for inevitable wars with Ming), but I'll "make it up" to them by heavily developing their lands as recompense.
    Usually I only consider my job finished if I've go the entirety of the Pacific and Indian oceans, which yes means i have a significant African colony in the form of Madagascar XD

    I mean, if there's over 20k islands, there's no real way to make sure how many islands there are exactly, and due to climate change the islands will either grow more numerous due to splitting up of islands, and shrink due to them being consumed by the ocean.

    Here is my 1000% original answer
    The islands of Indonesia, also known as the Indonesian Archipelago or Nusantara, may refer either to the islands comprising the country of Indonesia or to the geographical groups which include its islands. According to the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investments Affairs, of 17,508 officially listed islands within the territory of the Republic of Indonesia,[1] 16,671 island names have been verified by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) as of 2018.[2] This makes Indonesia the world's largest island country.[3]
