a bit of detail on why i've removed "severe drought" from the Environment Issues section: while there were some localised unusual droughts in a couple of areas in 1997 and in 2001 (parts of the Highlands and New Ireland), in general drought is very rare in PNG. i would argue that it is not regarded as a significant environmental issue in the country, in comparison with the major threats posed by forestry, agricultural clearance, and mining. 12:09, 19 December 2003 Wantok
Complete rewrite
[edit]I'm planning a complete rewrite of this page - turning the CIA data into readable prose, wikify, lots of expansion, finding useful images. Time permitting, this should happen over the next few days.

Maritime border
[edit]It'd be good to be able to see where the PNG/Torres Strait (Australia) maritime border is, since PNG is now leasing Daru fishing rights to the Chinese. Special:Contributions/2001:8003:29CB:7800:199A:649D:69E1:A7DA
Length
[edit]How long is the country of Papua New Guinea? Whenever I look it up, it gives me the length of the island it's on. 75.84.226.208 (talk) 18:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
