For administrative purposes, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is divided into administrative divisions called regions and provinces. Papua New Guinea is divided into four regions and 22 province-level divisions: 20 provinces plus the autonomous region (Bougainville) and the National Capital District.[1]

Each province is divided into one or more districts, which in turn are divided into one or more local level government areas (LLGs).

Regions

{{main|Regions of Papua New Guinea}}

PNG is divided into four regions. While not official administrative divisions for most purposes, regions are quite significant in daily life. People generally identify strongly with their region, and inter-region rivalries can be intense.

There are four regions, each of which comprises a number of provinces:

  • Highlands Region: Hela, Jiwaka, Simbu, Eastern Highlands, Enga, Southern Highlands, and Western Highlands.
  • Islands Region: East New Britain, Manus, New Ireland, North Solomons (Bougainville), and West New Britain.
  • Momase Region: East Sepik, Madang, Morobe, and West Sepik (Sandaun).
  • Papua Region: Central, Gulf, Milne Bay, Northern Province (Oro), Western (Fly), and the National Capital District.

Momase is a recently devised portmanteau word which combines the first two letters of Morobe, Madang, and Sepik.
