....I'm Canadian, so I know that? also hardly populated and without working highways. Funny that if Quebec became independent (which has been voted on twice) Nunavut would be the closest landmass left to the Atlantic provinces. no actual land connection though. Timmins ontario, 33rd largest city in Ontario, had as of 2011 12,000 more people than the whole of Nunavut. This is despite Nunavut if a country being the 13th largest in the world. According to wikipedia 50% of the city speaks French. |

thats odd, since searching Indonesian ocean in google gets 40,000,000 results....for Indian Ocean.
Actually, on the 4th page, there is a book about Indian ocean and its control, and one citation says that in 1963 Sukarno called it the indonesian Ocean, leading to a debate in Indian parliament. so it appears Sukarno voiced what he wanted, not what things were. Also, in 1974 they got annoyed when it was called Madagascar sea by American ambassador.
Etymology is that Indonesia was named such in the 1700s, and is a greek combination of "Indus river" and "Indian Island" While Indian Ocean was coined in the 1500s and refers to how the Indian Subcontinent projects into it like a giant dagger. Or, according to google anyway.
Suncheon, city in South Korea.
