The colour coding on the map cuts it in half, but I don't see a country name on the western part. And the western part also has the same colour coding as Indonesia. What's the deal with that?

SYDNEY — Papua New Guinea police have arrested members of an alleged cannibal cult accused of killing at least seven people, eating their brains raw and making soup from their penises, a report said Friday. The 29 people, who appeared in court this week charged with murder and cannibalism, were part of a 1,000-strong group formed to combat errant sorcerers who The National newspaper said had begun charging exorbitant fees. The cost of a witch doctor revealing a cause of death or casting out an evil spirit was usually 1,000 kina ($475) cash, plus a pig and a bag of rice, but some were also demanding sex as payment. "It's against our traditional ethics and morals for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man's wife or teenage daughter," said one local cult leader in the Tangi area, inland from Madang province on PNG's northeast coast. "That was the main cause of frustration that led to the forming of a group to hunt down sorcerers. "Over time, as suspects were released to carry on as sorcerers, we got tired and fed up." There is a widespread belief in sorcery in the impoverished Pacific nation where many people do not accept natural causes as an explanation for misfortune, illness, accidents or death. In 1971, the country introduced a Sorcery Act to criminalise the practice. But PNG's law reform commission recently proposed to repeal it after a rise in attacks on people thought to practice black magic. Locals determined to get revenge on the profiteering witch doctors sought their own supernatural training from village chiefs, using their "possessed" bush knives to hunt down and kill seven people since April, the report said. "We ate their brains raw and took body parts such as livers, hearts, penis and others back to the hausman (traditional men's houses) for our chief trainers to create other powers for the members to use," one of those arrested said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ir15zpbCY0kj36IFCNJ9m3U6SnDQ?docId=CNG.d1f22836e28c14f40f45d4a6d97635a4.221
