Best Country in Africa - Ranked by the Community

Fifty-four countries. One continent. And an absolutely wild amount of national pride to go around.

Africa is the most diverse landmass on Earth - 2,000+ languages, ancient civilisations, booming megacities, and some of the most passionate people you'll ever argue with about football, food, or flags. From Morocco's medinas to South Africa's Cape, from Nigeria's Lagos to Ethiopia's highlands, every country on this continent has a serious case for the top spot.

The Africa country ranking you see above isn't built by economists, analysts, or some committee in Geneva. It's built by the community - people like you, backing the nations they love and challenging the ones they love to argue about. Every score is net support: backing minus challenges, recalculated in real time as votes come in.

North Africa vs Sub-Saharan Africa. East Africa vs West Africa. The Maghreb bragging rights. The AFCON rivalries. The debates never stop - and here, they actually move the scoreboard.
