Karimun, Administrative region in Riau Islands, Indonesia.
Karimun Regency encompasses Great Karimun Island and 240 smaller islands, covering 1,339 square kilometers of land and 6,460 square kilometers of sea area.
The Dutch East India Company examined the northwestern coast in 1615 for potential fortification, yet determined the location unsuitable due to insufficient fresh water resources.
The population of 253,457 residents includes a majority of Muslims at 85.9 percent, with Buddhist, Protestant, and Catholic communities contributing to the regional diversity.
The region maintains multiple passenger terminals, including Tanjungbalai Karimun Domestic and International Ferry Terminals, connecting the islands to neighboring countries.
The regency exports high-grade granite and houses industrial facilities like Karimun Sembawang Shipyard, while maintaining 219 schools and one university.
