‘Kumulland’ represents us better

Letters

IDEALLY, a nation’s name should reflect its own people’s identity, culture and heritage.
Does the name “Papua New Guinea” reflect its own people, culture and of course heritage in the Pacific when one-third of the name points at West African country Guinea?
England represents English people and English culture.
Holland represents Dutch people and Dutch culture.
Other examples – Finland, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Thailand, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Somaliland and Puntland.
Kumulland will ideally represent current people of Papua New Guinea and its beautiful vibrant culture.
There are over 200 countries in the world today and a lot of these have changed their names for various reasons.
Reasons such as boundary change, war, and independence, to honour a leader, splitting of countries etc.
Besides, political motivation can also make countries change their name.
Most countries changed their name to erase their past, while some others did to attract tourism.
Also, three names are simply too many for a country name.
Changing all colonial names such as Papua New Guinea and Port Moresby given by some random strangers will help gain new national spirit and new closely related national identity in the world for people of future Kumulland.
What would you call people of Kumulland?
Kumuls? Kumulese? Kumulians? or Kumulish like English?
All developed high-income countries have advanced education systems in place and educated people have helped reshape country’s development throughout the history.
Teaching everyone (likely to be English given its global importance) how to read and write regardless of their age will be the first step towards establishing an advanced education system in Kumulland.
As always, the next generation will take it to the next level.
Given the small population coupled with vast natural resources, if managed and mobilised well, could make Kumulland the new Denmark in the Pacific, if not one of the richest countries in the world in less than a decade.
Brazil is the world’s agriculture powerhouse and supply foods for the whole world from vegetables to meats. Today’s Papua New Guinea tomorrow’s Kumulland has the potential to become a world agricultural powerhouse
by harnessing vast fertile lands for export-oriented agricultural projects.
As the first step Kumulland can start producing what Australians eat and has the potential to become Australia’s largest trading partner for its foods.
