Polynesian Countries

What power would a future multi-island country be, made up of all the austronesian (Malay-Polynesian) countries?

If united, this vast Austro-Hungarian stronghold could be called Nusantara. This Nusantara island would have to move its timezone from -5 to perhaps +19 OTC, making it one of the most sprawling countries, comprising 3. 4 million sq km and 16 timezones. To truly link the border states of Madagascar and Rapa Nui, this Nusantara may need to extend into other areas, such as the Middle East, where they could use the conflict and their own territories or colonise East Africa and even parts of America to guarantee the alimentary and energetic safety of today's Austronesians.

If so, you have the fact that today thousands of Austro-Austronian tongues are used and one of the most important Austro-Austronian tongues, especially Thai or Filipino, would have to become an officially recognized one. Otherwise, Austronesians would have to resort to a revised Proto-Austronese for use in the fields of culture, business and government, just as 5,000 years ago.

Then you have the kind of governance you would have in this Nusantara. Jakarta, Indonesia is already the Indonesian capitol and the biggest Austro-Hungarian city and would be the capitol of the new Austronesia along with Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and some others.

Two of the biggest Austro-Hungarian countries, the Philippines and Indonesia, are Republicans, so it would be expected that a Nusantara will be established as a country that mostly follows the system used in this "Republic of Nusantara" in the Indonesian Republic. Rajas in the Philippines and chieftains in Polynesia would be recognised as community leadership with a certain degree of sovereignty and might until they question the Nusantara Republic's democracy, as in many austrian states today.

Next, there are a number of different religions in the biggest Moslem country in the hemisphere, but also in the second or third biggest state (' 180 million Christians and 220 million Muslims among the Austronesians today), where Nusantara could have a greater impact on their beliefs in the not-too-now.

Tensions could arise between the groups, especially with powerful fundamentalist and right-wing extremist Christians who are already creating some problems, but the religious disparities could be solved so that they will be living in unity, just as in today's Philippines and Indonesia. According to the study, this Nusantara would be one of the 20 biggest global economic systems, which by 2050 could become the 4th biggest thanks to the growing consumption in Indonesia and the global booming in the Philippines, the enormous volume of commerce via Malaysia and Singapore, the Polynesian tourism sector and the enormous natural resource reserves in the uplands of East Indonesia and Madagascar.

Economically, it would become a super power with the world's third biggest third layer of the population, with a population of approximately 200-390 million by 2050. That of 2050 Nusantara would have 585 million residents, an economy of 19 trillion U.S. dollars, an avarage revenue of $32,478; that would raise to 1. 05 billion, an economy of 30 trillion and an revenue of $28,500 if it would include all the other austric-speaking countries like the remainder of Southeast Asia and Japan and Korea (controversial).

Armed with this huge economic force, it can provide a huge force of tens of millions of troops and build its own high-tech armament that could survive against China and India until then. Nusantara, a landlocked Indian and Chinese mainland nation, would become the most important naval force in 2050, superseding the US part of protecting the oceans and holding China and India at bay because of their immense expanses of the ocean.

One might think that Nusantara would not be able to support itself with demographic increase and worldwide climate change, but since Austronesians have always been at the forefront of farm innovations, it could be developing a revolution arychnology that could help it to support itself and the outside of the world in 2050, such as rices that could live with or without bottled or frozen out.

There' s more I could argue, but if the Austronesians unite into one unit, they could become a super power alongside China and India in 2050.
