Papua New Guinea

“”Is okay, Ethiopia… …you don't look that thin.

— Papua to a starved Ethiopia

Papua New Guinea, officially known as the cannibal Independent State of Papua New Guinea, is a poor country located in Oceania, having an ocean border, sharing his border with Indonesia and the Solomon Islands only and being close to Australia.

He is portrayed as liking to eat his own species's flesh and wants to hunt with his spear, because it was accepted in as part of Papuan culture by some (though it's illegal now), though many tribes in Papua still do it.

Despite being one of least developed countryball, he is living happily for now (somewhat), and his beautiful nature and culture attracts tourists and scientists from all over Earth.

History

In 1975, the Territory of Papua and New Guinea declared and gained independence, and became another Commonwealth realm just like Aussie, New Zealand, and Canada.

Israel and Papua New Guinea established diplomatic relations in 1978, about three years after Papua New Guinea was granted independence.

Shortly after that unrest started in Bougainville because of disparities and mining issues, and despite that Bougainville granted autonomy status, the unrest spiraled into a ten-year war that left 20,000 Papuans dead.

In 2019, Bougainville held an independence referendum; 98,3% of inhabitants chose independence. So, Papua New Guinea and Bougainville made an agreement that the latter will gain their independence by 2027.

On 5 September 2023, the Papua New Guinea embassy in Jerusalem was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea James Marape and the Prime Minister of Israel Benyamin Netanyahu.

On 24 May 2024, a landslide occurred in Mulitaka, Papua New Guinea. By 7 June, 12 bodies had been recovered, with thousands more buried and presumed dead, though estimates of the death toll vary greatly, with some estimating that only 160 had died.
