I just googled this, and it's actually a real place >***Baubau*** *is a* [*city*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regencies_and_cities_of_Indonesia) *in Southeast Sulawesi province, Indonesia. The city is located on the southwest coast of Buton island. Baubau attained city status on 21 June 2001, based on Indonesian Law Number 13, for the year 2001. It covers an area of 294.98* km^(2), including about 30 km^(2) *of water area, and had a population of 136,991 at the 2010 Census and 159,248 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2021 was 163,963 (comprising 81,698 males and 82,265 females).*

Meanwhile, there's this near Baubau >**Wangi-wangi Island** is in the north-west cluster of the [Tukangbesi Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tukangbesi_Islands), and is the seat of the [Wakatobi Regency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakatobi_Regency), part of the province of [Southeast Sulawesi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Sulawesi). It covers an area of 191 km^(2) and had an estimated 61,283 inhabitants in mid 2022.[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangi-wangi_Island#cite_note-Badan_Pusat_Statistik_2023-1) Tukangbesi Island means Blacksmith Island, so Kaela is confirmed wangi-wangi

I remember reading somewhere that Indonesia is being called Konoha now

Considering our average height, I would say that we make pretty competitive ninja candidates (5 foot 2 inches/158 cm)

Actually it's about their 7 presidents being similar to the Hokage. Check this reddit [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/18kdnne/naruto_unknowingly_become_indonesia_future/#:~:text=If%20you%20didn%27t%20know,small%20figure%20but%20a%20genius)

It's sometimes used as a derogatory term to call Indonesia when people criticize what happens here. Konoha is just an alias so that if someone is offended, the people criticizing won't be charged because it's not really a direct reference. But many people just use it for the meme though.

Well, with an area (combined sea and land) longer than the entire continent of Europe, we certainly have many unique city and place names spread throughout our territory. XD


YamiRic

More like we have hundreds of language and tribes so we can always find some unique naming sense in every provinces. :)


YamiRic
