New Guinea

Today in Human Geo class we took several notes about Papua New Guinea and I created this essay with them:

Papua New Guinea is a place located in Eurasian or more exact northeast of Australia. Although some people think this Eurasian country is very much still in their Stone Age, there are still a lot of New Guineans that have things like electricity and cars according to the CIA Factbook. Some of its resources that are the most valued and beneficial to them is gold, copper, silver, natural gas, timber, oil, and fisheries. This island nation is tropical as are most islands located in near the equator. Since there is such a hot and tropical climate in New Guinea, it is clear that they have a rainforest. This rainforest is now being destroyed by growing commercial demand for lumber. Showing once again that some New Guineans aren’t still in the past.

As their own nation, they do have a government and that type of government is a Constitutional Parliamentary Democracy and Commonwealth realm. Their capital is Port Moresby and is also one of their most civilized cities, and if it isn’t it is their most civilized city. Several key factors that also show how modernized they’re becoming is that they have a military, air force, and navy. They let both men and women in their army and have an estimated three million people fit for service right now. And there are currently 3.896 workers in New Guinea of all types.

Their best agricultural products which they ship to other countries includes: coffee, cocoa, copra, palm kernels, tea, sugar, rubber, sweet potatoes, fruit, vegetables, vanilla, poultry, pork, and shellfish. These agricultural products are produced by some of many industries in New Guinea including: copra crushing, palm oil processing, plywood production, wood chip production, mining (gold, silver, and copper); crude oil production, petroleum refining; construction, and tourism. New Guinea’s resources is actually helping the country to become even smarter, more developed with schools, roads, and hospitals; and just helping get out of the quote on quote “Stone Age”.
