"State of the Republic of Indonesia") was a federal state (negara bagian) of the United States of Indonesia (USI) which was established on 27 December 1949 . The territory of the state included some of Java and most of Sumatra. The USI's capital of Djakarta was also the center of the Republic. The acting president of the Republic was Assaat (Soekarno became president of the USI) and the prime minister was first Soesanto Tirtoprodjo until 16 January 1950, then Abdul Halim.
