Next year, BOUGAINVILLE, located north east of Papua New Guinea, is set to become to world's newest independent country. Are you excited?Will you visit? How long will it take for their flag to be added to this site?
Their vibrant Melanesian culture is waiting for YOUR tourism dollars
>>221016210Looks Australian
>>221016202>Are you excited?Yes, would be smarter for them to merge with the Solomons though.>Will you visit?Maybe, tons of fascinating WWII history there.
>>221016202lol lmao
>>221016284Interesting, there's a non-zero chance that my great-grandpa was here then>>221016326Wtf is PNG going to do? Launch an amphibious assault with their tiny military?
>>221016326its a matter of formality at this point mr Heinie.
>>221016210far left looks like a white guy in tranny blackface
>>221016202Oh yay another pointless island nation that does nothing except clog up the list.They should put all those tranny islands like fiji and tonga and samoa into some confedaration so you dont have to remember 10 different pointless countries
>>221016479>Bougainville has one of the world's largest copper deposits, which has been under development since 1972. >The Panguna mine is estimated to have one billion tonnes of copper ore and 12 million ounces of goldIts not pointless, if they get their shit together then their copper is will be in your cellphone
>>221016513NTA but this sounds like the Nauru situation where they went from mildly developed to barely functioning the moment their deposits ran dry.
>>221016202beautiful
>another country to vote for us in the UN in exchange for two bicycles
>>221016479You should go tell them. I'm sure they've never had the chance to witness German autism irl
>>221016479>>221016513https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1745097/countries-and-territories-in-oceania>You scored 28/37 = 76%>This beats or equals 73.7% of test takers
>>221016513Sounds like Katanga
It's funny how half of Earth is just fucking nothing, although it seems very comfy to live on an island there.
>>221024254>nothingIt's clearly an ocean. That's something
>>221024254Terrifying
>>221021585they're all sub-70 iq evangelicals, you won't even need the bicycles
>>221016210Those just look like niggers tho
>>221024254it's a good thing that the international date change line is in the middle of nowhere
>>221024254No, is not funny, and your pic triggered my thalassophobia
>>221028092Bro you live on an island
>>221028599Yeah but over land you dumpy
>>221028599Continents are just big islands
>Bougainville>It's an islandThey should call it Bougainvîle or Île Bougain
>>221030443it's named after this guy
>>221030443>Bougainvîlefunny tho
>>221024254liminal, even...
>>221016202Papuan unification next
>>221021827>have to name each individual US minor outlying island, including fucking Kingman Reef>does not have to name the Bonin islands, Juan Fernandez, Galapagos, NZ outlying islands, Clipperton, etcGood morning I hate Americans. I got all of them btw, also did the Caribbean one for good measure, fuck off back to /pol/ if you get less than 90%.
>>221016202I was thinking they should open a gym there called BigGainsVille but they don't seem like the type that would appreciate the meme.
Free West Papua!
NEW FLAG DROPPEDVVVVVGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>221024254>>221024757It hurts to be something it's worse to be nothing
>>221035908What's the flag?
>>221037065only a mildly interesting flag imqho
>>221016202Boggles my mind how many hippies here think all these irrelevant Pacific islands would be better off independent from dah big bad colonialism even though being part of France objectively gives them access to more money, their defence needs covered, and a way way stronger passport. I bet most Pacific islands would fucking love to be annexed by Australia if we offered it
>>221037245nevermind just completely mixed up these guys with New Caledonia lmaoBougainville sounded French enough to me
>>221016479>>221016284Bougainville residents don't speak Austronesian languages though, so they are pretty different desu.>>221016513The entire reason they wanted independence was because of the pollution caused by the mine, they even fought a civil war with up to 20k deaths over it.
>>221016210is that a tranny on the farthest left o algo?
>>221037245There are some pacific nations that are pretty much Australia/New Zealand protectoratesThe French islands got the best deal because they have full metropolitan french citizenshipthe American Islands get the worst deal because they aren't a state so they don't get full benefits
>>221016202Let's hope they will not go South Sudan way if you catch my drift
>>221038659>American Islands get the worst dealNot familiar with Hawaii huh
>>221039171everyone knows hawaii dood. I'm talking about Samoa Guam etc
>>221039244>I'm talking about Samoa GuamThey all have U.S citizenship despite not being states and they get tons of gibs for being big military outposts.The ones we really fucked over are the associated states like the Marshalls who we nuked into oblivion.
>>221016479I think the opposite. All of the world should look like HRE. There should be a like 5000 countries. All with their own laws and customs you have to navigate. Would be much more interesting than this globohomo world with one consumerist monoculture. It would be kino
