Based on Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 72 of 2019, Indonesia has an area of 1.92 million square kilometers (km) stretching from Sabang, Aceh, to Merauke, Papua.

Papua is recorded as the province with the largest area in Indonesia, reaching 319,040 km². This figure accounts for 16.64% of the total area of Nusantara or approximately 480 times the area of DKI Jakarta.

However, with the approval of the Draft Law (RUU) on South Papua Province, Central Papua Province, and Central Mountains Papua Province, the area of Papua Province will be divided into 4 provinces. If the bill is passed, Papua will no longer be the province with the largest area.

The next largest province is Central Kalimantan, reaching 153,560 km² (8.01%). Followed by West Kalimantan with an area of 147,300 km². The provinces on the islands of Papua and Kalimantan dominate the provinces with the largest areas in 2021.

Meanwhile, the smallest province in Indonesia is DKI Jakarta. The current capital city of Indonesia has an area of only 664 km². This figure accounts for only 0.03% of the total area of Indonesia.

Following that is the Special Region (DI) of Yogyakarta with an area of only 3.13 km² (0.16%), and Bali with an area of 5.78 km² (0.3%).
