Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (
IPA: ), in
Tok Pisin: Papua Niugini, officially the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, is a country in
Oceania, occupying the eastern half of the island of
New Guinea and numerous offshore islands (the western portion of the island is occupied by the
Indonesian provinces of
Papua and
West Papua). It is located in the southwestern
Pacific Ocean, in a region defined since the early 19th century as
Melanesia. Its capital, and one of its few major cities, is
Port Moresby. It is one of the most diverse countries on Earth, with over 850 indigenous languages and at least as many traditional societies, out of a population of just under 6 million. It is also one of the most rural, with only 18 per cent of its people living in
urban centres. The country is also one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of Papua New Guinea.
