// Filter for country
var Indonesia = countries.filter(ee.Filter.inList('Country', country_names));

// Get the geometry
var Indonesia = Indonesia.geometry();

// Get the bounds
var IndonesiaBounds = Indonesia.bounds();

// create the vizualization parameters
var viz = {min:0.0, max:1000, palette:"1400f7,00f4e8,f4f000,f40000,960424"};

// add the country boundaries to the map
Map.addLayer(Indonesia,null,"Boundaries");
