Resident?

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 Here's a complete list of countries in Africa for reference __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Algeria (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria) * Angola (Republic of Angola) * Benin (Republic of Benin) * Botswana (Republic of Botswana) * Burkina Faso * Burundi (Republic of Burundi) * Cameroon (Republic of Cameroon) * Cape Verde (Republic of Cape Verde) * Central African Republic (Central African Republic) * Chad (Republic of Chad) * Comoros (Union of the Comoros) * Côte d'Ivoire (Republic of Côte d'Ivoire) * Djibouti (Republic of Djibouti) * Egypt (Arab Republic of Egypt) * Equatorial Guinea (Republic of Equatorial Guinea) * Eritrea (State of Eritrea) * Ethiopia (Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia) * Gabon (Gabonese Republic) * Gambia (Republic of The Gambia) * Ghana (Republic of Ghana) * Guinea (Republic of Guinea) * Guinea-Bissau (Republic of Guinea-Bissau) * Kenya (Republic of Kenya) * Lesotho (Kingdom of Lesotho) * Liberia (Republic of Liberia) * Libya (Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) * Madagascar (Republic of Madagascar) * Malawi (Republic of Malawi) * Mali (Republic of Mali) * Mauritania (Islamic Republic of Mauritania) * Mauritius (Republic of Mauritius) * Morocco (Kingdom of Morocco) * Mozambique (Republic of Mozambique) * Namibia (Republic of Namibia) * Niger (Republic of Niger) * Nigeria (Federal Republic of Nigeria) * Republic of the Congo (Republic of the Congo) * Rwanda (Republic of Rwanda) * Sao Tome and Principe * Senegal (Republic of Senegal) * Seychelles (Republic of Seychelles) * Sierra Leone (Republic of Sierra Leone) * Somalia (Somali Republic) * South Africa (Republic of South Africa) * Sudan (Republic of Sudan) * Swaziland (Kingdom of Swaziland) * Tanzania (United Republic of Tanzania) * Togo (Togolese Republic) * Tunisia (Tunisian Republic) * Uganda (Republic of Uganda) * Western Sahara (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) * Zambia (Republic of Zambia) * Zimbabwe (Republic of Zimbabwe) |

Ulgania :angry: 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. |

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. |
