Trivia: What country does the western half of New Guinea belong to?
Philippines
Australia
Indonesia
New Zealand
The correct answer is Indonesia
So why is this answer correct? : Located just north of Australia, New Guinea is the world’s second-largest island. The territory is split almost equally in half: The western side belongs to Indonesia, and the eastern half is the independent country Papua New Guinea. Most of the island is mountainous and covered in rainforests. The island is rich in both plant life and wildlife, particularly reptiles, marsupials, and birds, both flightless and tropical.
