National Blueprint · One of 195
A nation of 10.8 million, with forest over three quarters of its land and mineral and gas wealth, where fewer than half have electricity and the World Bank committed $200 million for energy access.
Perfect Nations values what Papua New Guinea owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

03Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Papua New Guinea in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Papua New Guinea
To be set with Papua New Guinea, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Papua New Guinea, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Papua New Guinea. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.
The Solution for Papua New GuineaEnergy
Your forests, minerals and gas are among the great natural endowments of the Pacific.
Fewer than half of you have electricity, and only one household in eight cooks with clean fuel. Let the gas and gold you sell abroad light the homes of the highlands and the islands first.
“Gas for export; light for every village first.”
