Island in Oceania


August 17, 2007 | permalink |


Today's Geo Quiz takes us to Oceania.

We're looking for a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It occupies the eastern half of of the world's second largest island. It's a region that's prone to volcanoes, earthquakes and tidal waves. And it's one of the world's most linguistically diverse places, with more than 700 native languages, including pidgin.

Today there was a somber affair in the country's central province of East New Britain. Thousands of villagers took part in the ceremony of reconciliation. They lit candles and apologized for their ancestors' actions.

We'll tell you what they were sorry about, but here's one last clue. If you email someone who lives in this island nation, you'd end the address with the country's international domain. That would be dot P G.
