Francis Fukuyama famously said that a "nation" like Papua New Guinea is not a state at all, but a tribal confederation with a "nation" sign.

It is simply divided into mountains and out-of-mountain, with mountains referring to remote and poorly trafficked primeval jungle areas, and mountains referring to urban areas on the seashore. The inhabitants of urban areas are affected by modern society, and they are certainly not as simple as the residents of the mountains. The people in the mountains are naïve because they have indeed seen little of the world, and most of them retain that innocence and treat people very kindly.

The country's security is relatively poor, and the local Chinese call the people here natives rather than blacks, and barbarism, violence, hypocrisy, greed, and laziness are their common characteristics. Ten officials are greedy, nine are greedy, and one is on the way. Corruption is rampant and moral shame is almost zero. (These are common diseases in poor and backward countries, and there is no way to cure them)

The country is highly democratic, even the natives who have never been out of the mountains have the right to vote (openly democratic, but people have little knowledge and cannot use their rights), every five years, politicians use all kinds of means to cheat votes, bribe and accept bribes, when voters choose their favorite people, everything is business as usual, poor or poor, chaotic or chaotic, resources plundered by foreigners or plundered.

The biggest feeling that politicians give me is that they think most about their own interests, the development of the country is secondary, the citizens of Papua New Guinea are powerless and have no intention of changing the status quo, most of them are idle, lazy to the extreme, anyway, they can't die with a little food, regardless of the national conditions to copy the Western model, relying on oil and gas and mining resources.
