A Somalilander here, Somaliland has a fully established government which is elected by popular vote. In fact, it has one of the most sophisticated and modern voter registration system which uses bio-metric data to detect double voters. Something a number of other African or even first world (i.e. US/EU) can't guarantee.

Somaliland is extremely safe, you can go about your daily life without a hint of any problem. You can walk down the street in the middle of the night without worrying for your safety.

Keeping peace is everyone's business, citizens take ownership of it.

Aside from that, it is a very poor country, but everyone is happy with what little they have.
