Papua New Guinea, officially known as the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, is a country located in Oceania. It encompasses the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and its surrounding islands in the Melanesia region of the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The capital city, situated along the southeastern coast, is Port Moresby. With an area of 462,840 square kilometers (178,700 square miles), it ranks as the world’s third-largest island country. Papua New Guinea gained sovereignty in 1975 after being under the rule of three external powers since 1884, including almost 60 years of Australian administration beginning during World War I. It became an independent Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Papua New Guinea boasts incredible linguistic diversity, with 839 known languages, making it one of the most linguistically diverse countries globally. As of 2019, it is also the most rural country, with only 13.25% of its population residing in urban centers. The majority of the country’s over 8 million people live in customary communities. However, a yet-to-be-published study suggests that the true population may be close to 17 million, challenging previous government estimates.

Economically, Papua New Guinea is classified as a developing economy by the International Monetary Fund. Approximately 40% of the population engages in subsistence farming, largely independent of the cash economy. The country’s constitution recognizes and values traditional social groupings, emphasizing the importance of “traditional villages and communities to remain as viable units of Papua New Guinean society.” Papua New Guinea has been an observer state in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1976 and has applied for full membership status. It is a full member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Pacific Community, and the Pacific Islands Forum. The climate in Papua New Guinea is predominantly tropical but varies across different regions. In the lowlands, the maximum mean temperature ranges from 30 to 32 °C (86 to 90 °F), while the minimum temperature hovers around 23–24 °C (73–75 °F). In the highlands above 2,100 meters (6,900 feet), colder conditions prevail, with common night frosts and daytime temperatures exceeding 22 °C (72 °F) throughout the year.

The country is rich in natural resources, including minerals, forests, marine resources (notably tuna stocks), and agriculture in certain regions. However, the rugged terrain, high mountain ranges, swamps, islands, and the high cost of infrastructure development pose challenges for outside investors. Local developers also face obstacles due to limited investment in education, healthcare, and access to finance. Agriculture, both for subsistence and cash crops, remains a significant livelihood for 85% of the population and contributes around 30% to GDP. Mineral deposits, such as gold, oil, and copper, account for 72% of export earnings. Palm oil production has seen steady growth, becoming the primary agricultural export. Other notable exports include coffee (from the Highlands provinces), cocoa, coconut oil/copra (from coastal areas), tea (produced on estates), and rubber. The country has also seen major gas projects, including the PNG LNG joint venture, which is the largest private-sector investment in Papua New Guinea’s history. Additional gas and mineral projects are proposed, with ongoing exploration efforts taking place nationwide, including the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold mine.
