Papua New Guinea has five levels of government:

• Federal Based in Port Moresby, The National Government serves to address national and multinational issues. Serving under the Queen of the Commonwealth, this government is led by the Prime Minister, who is elected by the people.
• Provincial Each of Papua New Guinea's eighteen incorporated provinces and one autonomous province has a provincial government which has varying responsibilities depending on the province. The provincial government is led by the Governor, who is periodically elected by the people.
• District Each of the provinces of Papua New Guinea has a number of districts. The nation has 86 districts, each led by a DOIC, or District Officer in Charge. The DOIC is often elected in the coastal areas and often appointed by the provincial government in the highlands. The national capital of Papua New Guinea is located in a district that is not part of any province, but is geographically located in Central Province, called the NCD or National Capital District. This arrangement can be considered similar to the District of Columbia in the United States of America. A district has a population of about 40,000 to 250,000.

There are 296 LLG areas, each with a Mayor or President position which is sometimes appointed, sometimes elected, and sometimes not served. A LLG generally has a population of about 2,000 to 50,000. LLGs tend to split when population exceeds 40,000.
