Papua vs New Guinea
Right now that country's name is Papua New Guinea.
I think that country should just be called Papua.
The name Papua New Guinea is too long.

It was Papua at one time. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/ New Guinea is actually the name of the entire island, which contains parts of Indonesia. So naming it Papua New Guinea makes sense because it helps avoid confusion as to whether you are referring to the island as a whole or just the eastern half. Side: new guinea
