What the fuck is this country's problem? Why haven't

it's what Africa would be if it was never colonized

there's an island in the map called New Ireland. Doesn't that indicate they were colonized?

>>1795485
also new britain

Neu Pommern, never forget lads

>>1795484
No not at all.
Completely different history and part of the world

Because the Second World War disrupted the social, technological, and economic progress the island had been experiencing in peace for millennia. They were fully capable of being as developed as Australia was in 1950 if the Australians hadn't invaded.

He's clearly joking...

What's there to joke about? New Guinea WAS at the brink of a golden age before the Australians chose to make it a battlefront with the Japanese.

>>1797182
There colony rule from the brits to the aussies was very non existant. It was just a resource depot and that's it.

I more or less just imagine it as Morrowind/Vvardenfel minus the magic

>>1795485
That was originally called Neu Pommern. PNG rightful German clay

Fuck off racist. The New Guineans were on the cusp of their own tribal-culture-powered space age before the Aussies swooped in and stole their technology. Why do you think Australia is so prosperous now and New Guinea is so poor?

Being inhabited by literally only tribals for millennia and then being turned into a battleground for two powers that treated it as a strip of land they claimed but never touched will do that to you. But at least the populations living deep inside it are a good way to have an idea on how prehistoric societies behaved.

at least they have cute birbs

Sure, but same technological level.

>>1797294

But I mean, there was nothing there in the first place. Literally nothing.

>>1797949
Bullshit. New Guinean society was quite possibly the most advanced Oceanic society in the region until roughly 1940 or so. Much of our technological advances were stolen or destroyed during the Austro-Japanese invasion.

What's wrong with that? They don't bother anyone, so no one bothers them and they can continue living life the way they like to.

They had no petrol to sniff to take their minds to the dreamtime
