The islands are divided up between four countries, Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Much of the islands are the territory of Indonesia. The island of Borneo is divided up between Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The island of Timor is divided between East Timor and Indonesia. Two small islands also belong to East Timor. 
The Takabonerate Islands in Indonesia consist of Latondu, Rajuni, Tinabo, Pasi Telu, and Taka Lumungan. They lie about 3 to 4 hours by boat from Benteng, the administrative capital of the Selayar Islands. Together they make up the Takabonerate District of Selayar Regency in South Sulawesi Province. It is part of a National Marine Park, with dive sites, pelagic fishes, dolphins, turtles, many soft corals, sea fans. Also it is the third largest atoll in the world. 
Pribumi make up about 95% of Indonesian population. Using Indonesia’s population estimate in 2006, this translates to about 230 million people. As an umbrella of similar cultural heritage among various ethnic groups in Indonesia, Pribumi culture plays a significant role in shaping the country’s socioeconomic condition. The United States Library of Congress Country Study of Indonesia defines Pribumi as:There are over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia. 200 million of those are of Native Indonesian ancestry. The largest ethnic group in Indonesia is the Javanese who make up 41% of the total population. The Javanese are concentrated on the island of Java but millions have migrated to other islands throughout the archipelago. The Sundanese, Malay, and Madurese are the next largest groups in the country. Many ethnic groups, particularly in Kalimantan and Papua, have only hundreds of members. Most of the local languages belong to Austronesian language family, although a significant number, particularly in Papua, speak Papuan languages. The division and classification of ethnic groups in Indonesia is not rigid and in some case are unclear as the result of migrations, also cultural and linguistic influences; for example some may agree that Bantenese and Cirebonese are belongs to different ethnic group with their own distinct dialect, however others might consider them as Javanese sub-ethnicities, the member of larger Javanese people. The same case also with Baduy people that share so many similarities with the Sundanese people that they can be considered as belonging to the same ethnic group. The example of hybrid ethnicity is Betawi people, the result of a mixture of different native ethnicities with Arab and Chinese since the era of colonial Batavia (Jakarta). The proportional populations of Native Indonesians according to the (2009 census) is as follows:
