It is the largest archiphelago in the world, right? How many islands do they have?

With the references we have in the age of the Internet, there is no official count.
Take for example www.wikipedia.org... the same webpage says Indonesia got 17,508 and 18,108 islands.
It used to be around 13,000 islands in the record books a few years back...where they got the additional 4,000+ new islands, nobody knows. :-)
It's funny to think that Indonesia is world-renowned for graft & corruption and their island counting refelcts it too! :-)

That question has many answers, as most interesting questions do. According to the CIA factbook the answer is 17,000 (6,000 or so being inhabited). The Indonesian Embassy in Prague says, "The new figure for the total number of islands is 17,508 according to the Indonesian Naval Hydro-Oceanographic office. This figure is increased from the official figure so far known, that is 13,667." The INHO numbers are repeated around the web on many sites, so it is probably the authoritative number. But it ultimately depends on how you define an island.
