Is 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast (Yamoussoukro) a good place to live?

Beside the score, not inside it
Neither of these is part of the composite above, deliberately. Folding governance into a quality-of-life number would bury a political judgement where you could not see it or argue with it, and connection price is a different question from connection speed — somewhere fast and expensive and somewhere slow and cheap are different trade-offs, not one average.
