Papua is also the Indonesian name for the island. Hence the eastern part is the country of Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian provinces are Papua and West Papua. Between the three of them they cover the whole island and all use Papua.
How about Australia for largest island? The island/country itself isn't the continent. The continent of Australia includes many of the islands around it - including New Guinea.
No it actually doesn't. Although we group them as a "continent", most of those islands are atolls or volcanic and are not actually part of the Australian continental shelf. The continent of Australia only really includes the country itself and a few of the large islands around it. Same goes of for the Central American isthmus, which is also not really part of the continental shelf.
New Guinea is pretty clearly part of the Australian continent, whichever way you look at it. Any definition of continent strict enough to exclude New Guinea from Australia, would have to exclude Great Britain from Europe, Honshu from Asia and Madagascar from Africa. Many of the other islands of Oceania though are definitely not part of the continent - the islands of New Zealand, for example.
Funny how three of these islands are largely famous because Napoleon had something to do with them - to the extent that Napoleon is referenced in some fashion for all three.
"Able was I, ere I saw Elba," was never said by Napoleon (though he learnt some English in his latter days, he never spoke it particularly proficiently, and was unlikely to be constructing palindromes), but the palindrome was undoubtedly constructed in reference to him and from his perspective. Otherwise, Corsica figures little in the great events of European history, and is probably most famous as Napoleon's birthplace, hence the clue. And St Helena, where Napoleon spent his final days, would be virtually unheard of (except by, perhaps, the sorts of geography nerds that frequent this site), if not for the Emperor.
and Suffolk.
