West Nusa Tenggara (Indonesian: Nusa Tenggara Barat – NTB) is a province of Indonesia. It comprises the western portion of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the exception of Bali which is its own province. The province's land area is 19,931.45 km2. The two largest islands by far in the province are the smaller but much more populated Lombok in the west and the much larger in area but much less densely populated Sumbawa island in the east. Mataram, on Lombok, is the capital and largest city of the province. It shares maritime borders with Bali to the west and East Nusa Tenggara to the east.
The 2010 census recorded the population at 4,500,212;[8] the total rose to 4,830,118 at the 2015 Intermediate Census and 5,320,092 at the 2020 census;[9] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 5,590,359.[2]
