What's Your Favorite African Country?

Traditionally I'm a fan of Nigeria, but recently I must admit that Ghana has really been making a serious move to the top of the list. They're a recovering dictatorship with a suddenly strong dedication to democracy, and they're reissuing currency like madmen to phase out their destroyed currency from previous regimes.

Am I the only person who has a favorite African country? I hope not :D

I'd say my top three are as follows:
1) Ghana
2) Nigeria
3) Somalia
Honorable Mention: Mauritania

But I'm inclined to respect Mozambique because they put an AK-47 on their flag. Nigeria's respectable for pulling off a working kleptocracy.

Thirded.

But all nation-states are kleptocracies.

Except Nigeria doesn't really try to hide it. My favorite example is from the government official who was fighting corruption in the government, but when the arrests and investigations went in the direction of the ruling party it resulted in his very public removal and 'reeducation'. I wish I could find his name

I never thought about that, but I've known very nice people from Guinea when I was in Montreal. So, I'd say Guinea.

What about Zimbabwe? Zimbabwe is like Africa's jester. It keeps things interesting. Except it's been settling down a little bit lately. I don't approve.
