Papua New Guinea Constitutional monarchy in Oceania

Papua New Guinea, officially the Independent State of Papua New Guinea is a country in Oceania that occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and its offshore islands in Melanesia, a region of the southwestern Pacific Ocean north of Australia. Its capital, located along its southeastern coast, is Port Moresby. The western half of New Guinea forms the Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua. It is the world's 3rd largest island country with 462,840 km2 (178,700 sq mi).

It was launched in March 2002, in advance of the 2002 election. Headed by Peter Namus, it sought to "correct the imbalance in the distribution of funds and resources" between rural and urban areas, arguing that it was unfair that so much development was concentrated in urban areas when both the bulk of people and resources were in rural areas. The party also pledged to start electoral development authorities and cooperative societies to assist in small and medium business development. [1] By May, Menyamya MP Thomas Pelika had signed up to lead the party into the election. [2]
