PAPUA PROVINCE
Papua is an island located north of Australia and is part of the eastern region of Indonesia. Most of the land of Papua is still in the wilderness. Papua is the second largest island in the world after Greenland. About 47% of the territory of the island of Papua is part of Indonesia, which is known as Netherland New Guinea, West Irian, West Irian, and Irian Jaya, and recently known as Papua. Another part of the island's territory is the territory of the state of Papua New Guinea (Papua New Guinea), which is a former British colony. The population between the two countries actually has ethnic kinship, but is then separated by a border line.
