Netherlands will definitely want the money to be invested on Caribbean islands. Investing it on Indonesia is a lost cause for them. :(

They'd probably spend it on the Moluccas and West Papua, since they can expect to keep a degree of control over those two, tbh. Maybe build a railway in Java.

Soon or later Indonesia wants an independent nation of their own, and then will ask for assistance from either Comintern or Axis, although historically Soekarno was friendlier with Soviets but not embracing the Comintern.

Yeah, well that is the only other solution beside trying to be independent by themselves. In the end the United States of Indonesia was formed after Dutch military victory but considering that Netherlands has almost no military (aside from loyal forces in Caribbean and few Dutch soldiers in Indonesia)...of course in the end we transfer the sovereignty from Dutch to Indonesia.

And then there are Islamist insurgencies.

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Sweden
Symbols:
-Flag
-Coat of Arms
Location: 40
Homeland Population: 7,041,800
Imperial Population: N/A
Capital City: Stockholm

Government Info
Government Type: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: Pretty standard constitutional monarchy, nothing too special. Proportional elections tho for the Riksdag (aka Parliament).
Ideology: Social Democracy, Armed Neutrality, Equality, Secularism
Leader/s:
-King Gustaf V
-Speaker Johan Nilsson i Skottlandshus
-Prime Minister Tage Erlander

Population Info
Brief Description of our people: Thar be proper Swedes. Bork Bork Bork.
Religion: Church of Sweden
Ethnicity: White (?)
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Swedish, Sami
Other Cultures: Norwegian, Danish, Finnish

Military Info
Army: The Swedish Army maintains 65,000 active soldiers. Soldiers are conscripted and must serve for two years upon turning 18. Due to the nation's policy of armed neutrality, soldiers receive rigorous training and high quality equipment. The leadership of the army is tasked with defending the nation and has been doing such since the fall of Norway and the alignment of Finland with Nazi Germany. While Sweden remained friendly with the Nazis during the Second World War, the government and in turn the military were still prepared for an invasion from the Nazis and even prepared for an invasion from the Soviets. Various defense plans are in place and the leadership, while untested, is expected to prove useful. The army is organized efficiently with battalions stationed in major cities throughout the country and also near the borders. The Swedish Army consists of the Infantry, Calvary, a single company of Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear defense-trained personnel, Armoured Corps, Artillery, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Engineers, Signal Corps, and Logistic Corps. The army maintains 2,354 tanks, 1,257 armored fighting vehicles, and up to 20,000 utility vehicles. The Swedish Air Force is also massive, with over 4,000 planes, the vast majority which are armed fighters.
Navy: The Swedish Navy is one of high quality. It maintains 4 Cruisers, 21 Destroyers, 6 Corvettes, 19 Mine Warfare Vessels, 17 Patrol Boats, 12 Torpedo Boats, 26 Submarines, and various Auxiliary Vessels (HMS Arkösund minelayer, HMS Belos submarine salvage vessel, HMS Carlskrona minelayer, HMS Trossö ice-strengthened patrol craft, HMS Visborg command/auxiliary ship, and five Landing Craft L-50 mechanized landing crafts).

Other Info
Faction/Sphere: Non-aligned, however relations with Axis and the Allies are both cordial, the former has been slowly on the decline.
Brief Description of your Economy: The Swedish economy is highly industrialized and urbanized. Due to Sweden's lack of involvement in WWII, the nation avoided destruction and her economy continued to prosper, especially due to iron exports to Nazi Germany during the war. The economic situation in Sweden is currently excessively good, and the government has begun to implement Keynesian reforms. A welfare state is being constructed by the government and the nation's education and healthcare systems are blossoming.
Goals:
-Implement social democracy and make Sweden a model of economic and social equality and prosperity
-See Denmark and Norway officially liberated and potential united in a loose confederation - the Nordic Union
-Remain neutral in an era that has potential to destroy life as many know it.
History: Strictly by the books.

As in the first world war, Sweden remained officially neutral during World War II, although its neutrality during World War II has been disputed.Sweden was under German influence for much of the war, as ties to the rest of the world were cut off through blockades. The Swedish government felt that it was in no position to openly contest Germany,and therefore made some concessions. Sweden also supplied steel and machined parts to Germany throughout the war. However, Sweden supported Norwegian resistance, and in 1943 helped rescue Danish Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps. The Swedish government also unofficially supported Finland in the Winter War and the Continuation War by allowing volunteers and materiel to be shipped to Finland. Toward the end of the war, Sweden began to play a role in humanitarian efforts, and many refugees, among them several thousand Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe, were saved partly because of the Swedish involvement in rescue missions at the internment camps and partly because Sweden served as a haven for refugees, primarily from the Nordic countries and the Baltic states. The Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg and his colleagues may have saved up to 100,000 Hungarian Jews. Nevertheless, both Swedes and others have argued that Sweden could have done more to oppose the Nazis' war efforts, even if it meant increasing the risk of occupation.

Following the war, Sweden took advantage of an intact industrial base, social stability and its natural resources to expand its industry to supply the rebuilding of Europe. The country continues to remain neutral, maintaining a very strict policy of armed neutrality. However, many in the current government are beginning to favor the United States and other Western powers over Nazi Germany and the disliked USSR. Secretly, these officials are hoping to align Sweden more with the West while still remaining neutral.
