| Papua New Guinea the largest and most populated of all the Pacific Island countries. Topographically, it is one of the most diverse countries in the world, with an extraordinary range of ecosystems.

| From Morse code for communications to mobile phones, the island-nation of Maldives has undergone tremendous social, political and economic change during the past few decades.

While GDP is an important measure of economic activity, it was not developed to be the sole measure of a nation’s progress |
