Regions of Papua New Guinea Totally Explained

Everything about Regions Of Papua New Guinea totally explained

The four regions of Papua New Guinea are its broadest scale administrative divisions. While the twenty province-level divisions are the primary administrative divisions of the country, the regions are quite significant in daily life, as they're often the basis for organisation of government services (such as police), corporate operations, sporting competitions, and even the machinations of politics. For instance, there has been much discussion over the years of how many Prime Ministers have come from each region, and whether a particular region is due to provide the next one. Ministers and departmental heads are often appointed with an eye to maintaining an overall balance between the regions.
People generally identify quite strongly with their region, and inter-region rivalries can be intense. The four regions are:

Highlands Region: Simbu, Eastern Highlands, Enga, Southern Highlands, and Western Highlands.
Islands Region: East New Britain, Manus, New Ireland, North Solomons (Bougainville), and West New Britain.
Momase Region: East Sepik, Madang, Morobe, and West Sepik (Sandaun).
Papua Region: Central, Gulf, Milne Bay, Northern Province (Oro), Western (Fly), and the National Capital District.

Momase is a recently devised portmanteau word which combines the first two letters of Morobe, Madang, and Sepik.
