Koesno Sosrodihardjo (known as Sukharno, or Soekharno in Dutch spelling) is the President of Indonesia. He has held this office since the independence of the country from the Dutch, which he championed.
Despite Indonesia's membership in the Co-Prosperity Sphere, Sukharno has made a career out of defying the Japanese, which has made him popular among the people of Indonesia and rather unpopular with the Japanese.
Indonesian Civil War[]
In 1965, following a slow series of escalations, the peace in Indonesia will be broken with a civil war against the PRIM and Permesta movements under the government of Free Indonesia. Regardless of the outcome of the war, Sukarno will find himself removed from power. He will be removed if Free Indonesia, led by Hatta, wins, but he can find himself removed in a coup by Suharto in one of two ways:
- If Sukarno wins, Suharto will coup Sukarno and take over Indonesia.
- If Sukarno is unable to defeat Free Indonesia before June 1968, Suharto will coup Sukarno and allow Hatta to set up a provisional government. Unlike with Sukarno, Suharto will not coup Hatta.
