Inside the Papua New Guinea map

Papua New Guinea is drawn here as 20 individually colorable provinces. By mapped area the largest is Western (about 100,200 km², 22% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is National Capital District at about 262 km². That is a 383-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 12°S to 1°S and spans roughly 15° of longitude. Some provinces are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 44 outlines for 20 provinces.

Tips for coloring the Papua New Guinea map

With 20 provinces you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
Printing in greyscale? The stripes and dots fill patterns stay distinguishable where two similar shades merge, and the colorblind-safe palette avoids the red–green pairing.
Give the map a title and name each color in the legend editor — a colored map without a legend needs a caption to explain itself.
