After seeing the Finnish one posted earlier I was curious what the Indonesian search terms would be from google.co.id. A lot of the smaller countries didn't even have any results coming up, I guess they are not very high on Indonesians' radar.
Most Indonesians seem to want to know stuff about wars or EU participation, usually with a focus on stuff involving Muslims.
Edit: Attacked Malacca was the funniest one to me. 500 year old history is the most interesting aspect of the country to Indonesians.

I wouldn’t call what France is doing in Mali as “attacking” them.
Also re: Lebanon, I think people everywhere way overestimate what the UN can do. Not just Indonesians for sure. :)

I thought it was weird that it came up as the top result, but that's what it was. In 2nd place was "Why is France Romantic"..

The indonesians would. Presumably because French people don't naturally spawn in the Sahara.

You underestimate the French. Anyway, the Malian government invited them.

Yes... le gouvernement de Mali - essentially French people who spawn in the sahara. I apologise for underestimating you!

Really interesting to see what people from a country so far away (geographically and culturally) from europe think. The Attacked Mallaca is very interesting.

Portugal did have some historical influence on that area. But I can imagine a lot of Indonesian history students trying to find out facts for some school work, rather than a regular citizen wondering about why Portuguese attacked Malacca.

I agree. Their searches are much more interesting than the ones of European citizens.

Playoffs? What playoffs, I don't know nothing bout no playoffs.
Also, Croatia outperforming Germany?

Yeah some of them were oddly specific. With a small sample size --meaning those countries that few Indonesians google -- they become less general and more what one person wrote on a blog somewhere when it comes up in the results.

Finally, one that is actually interesting to look at.

I made this for r/malaysia, but I don't feel like translating it to English. You can enter them into Google Translate if you want. Australia's entry is kinda funny.

Please do!

Haha well done!

Hah, Indonesia's results were awesome.

romania invaded russia?

In the World Wars they did, maybe that's what the question was about.
1
World War II to be more precise, in WWI they were allies.

You're right.
1
"Why is Switzerland a developed country" shots fired!
2
Some better good questions than other countries. Like better educated people use the internet ? maybe it's not as common for younger people to access the internet?

Why does Sweden hate photos of food?
wat
I'm a swede who hates pictures of food. Instagram kind of ruined it.
Aye, a google search brought up this so I get what it means, but I'm kinda surprised it's big news in Indonesia.
Is like in México. people there actually get annoyed by the fact that in the US Obama hasn't done anything, according to them. Crazy.
