It is the world's second largest island, in the Pacific Ocean just north of Australia. It is politically divided into Papua New Guinea and part of Indonesia. The original Guinea is in the north of Africa.

It consists of many provinces and many islands. Its capital is Port Moresby which is located on the large expanse of land that is divided between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is a country.
