Timor-Leste (East Timor) is, as the name would suggest, the eastern part of the island of Timor, which is surrounded by Indonesia. This location has dictated much of the island's culture and way of life, yet it is the catholic faith of the people in Timor-Leste that gave them political independence from Indonesia. The similarities between the people of Timor-Leste and Indonesia are many, particularly the similarities with the people of Timor island who are citizens of Indonesia. These similarities come in numerous forms, including culture, lifestyle, language, foods, and more. However, the people of Timor-Leste strongly identify with Catholicism and this difference was enough to separate the two nations politically. Since independence, the people of Timor-Leste have slowly developed a culture and way of life that differentiates themselves from the people of Indonesia. The lands of Timor Island are rich and fertile as are the nearby seas. Throughout most of the island's history, the people lived much as other people in the larger archipelago have lived, which is surviving off the land and the sea. The people of Timor, like many other people in the region, had limited contact with outside people so their lifestyle changed little over the years as they had limited contact with outsiders.
