Administrative divisions
At the highest level, Papua New Guinea is divided into four regions, namely the Highlands, Islands, Momase, and Southern regions.
Below, Papua New Guinea has 22 province-level divisions: 20 integrated provinces, the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and the National Capital District.
Each province has one or more districts, and each district has one or more local-level government (LLG) areas. For census purposes, the LLG areas are subdivided into wards consisting of a few hundred to a few thousand individuals. Wards are further divided into census units (CU).
