Jakarta Sinking

Jakarta is sinking due to extraction of drinking water from deep aquifers. The country has decided to relocate all the governmental functions to a brand-new city on the adjacent island of Borneo, near Balikpapan. The area is less prone to natural disaster, but there are environmental/wildlife consequences associated with losing 990 square miles of forests. Jakarta will need to recover from the economic and social loss of the exodus of its government functions.
