The parts of Papua New Guinea that we saw in the movie Guns, Germs, and Steel are poor and don't send out any cargo and also dont receive any cargo into their country. Jarred Diamond explains that due to their geographical location they did not succeed as well as America did technology wise. The capital of New Guinea is Port Moresby. Port Moresby is in Tok Pisin and is the largest city in Papua New Guinea and they made relationships with the Gulf people. The Gulf people and the people from Papua New Guinea go on Hiri expeditions together where large groups of men go in canoes and take clay pots to various places. Port Moresby also has an airport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Moresby
The second largest city in Papua New Guinea is Lae. Lae is a major place for transportation and became famous when Ameila Earhart flew out of an airport there and was never seen again after her plane crashed. The LAe International Hotel has hosted some famous political figures in the past few years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lae
In present day New Guinea the population is about 5, 940,775 and the majority are between the ages of 15 and 64. The birth rate is 27.57/1,000 population and the life expectancy is 65.75. When looking at jobs in Papua New Guinea the agricultural percentage of jobs is 85%. 85% of farmers is almost all of the population, that is why Papua New Guinea is very different from the United States. There are barely any large towns or cities in Papua New Guinea, which is the opposite of the U.S. Papua New Guinea has been living basically the same way for the past thousands of years. Draa' was the first village in human history and scientist found the first granary http://www.workmall.com/wfb2010/papua_new_guinea/index.html
