We've been neglectfull of SE Asia so here is indonesia for which I cannot find much for rl.

Indonesia
Aussie Rules was first played in Indonesia by Australian soldiers in 1945 in Morotai and also Ngada.

It is currently played in Indonesia by clubs in Jakarta (formed in 1995), Bali (formed in 1997) and the Borneo Bears based in Balikpapan, these three clubs being mainly made up of expatriate Australians. There is also a league consisting of local villagers around the Pancawati area in West Java. The Jakarta Bintangs and Bali Geckoes regularly contest the Java-Bali Cup and participate in the Asian Australian Football Championships.

Founded in 2003, the West Java Australian Football League (WeJAFL) has over 500 local junior and senior players in the local competition. The large number of local players makes it the Asian nation with the highest participation rate amongst locals, although an Indonesian team has not yet appeared at the Australian Football International Cup.

The Borneo Bears were formed in Balikpapan in 2008, making their debut at the 2008 Bali 9s tournament.

The Jakarta Bintangs, Bali Geckoes and Borneo Bears formed AFL Indonesia in 2009, with a centralised plan for further development of the sport among native Indonesians, and the long-term goal of an Indonesian side at the 2011 Australian Football International Cup.

Team Indonesia participated in the 2010 Harmony Cup in Melbourne.
