Regions of New Britain (Papua New Guinea)

Administratively, New Britain is divided up into two of Papua New Guinea's provinces, East New Britain and West New Britain.

  • East New Britain. This province covers a total land area of around 16,000 square kilometres. The population is close to 250,000. Sixteen languages are spoken in this province, with the dominant tribe being the Tolai. Its former capital, Rabaul, was arguably the most beautiful city in PNG before it was devastated by a volcanic eruption in 1994. After the eruption the capital was moved to nearby Kokopo.
  • West New Britain. The province has an area of 21,000 km², and there are around 200,000 inhabitants. Compared with much of the rest of PNG the economy is relatively thriving, in part as a result of logging and oil palm production. There are seven major tribes speaking about 25 languages. The capital is Kimbe.
