I know it is still an impoverished country but compared to other african countries it seems much more civilized and developed.
But even more than that it seems like it is much more culturally prominent than other african countries. I never hear about Ghana in casual conversation but I feel like I hear about South Africa more regularly. It has had major historical figures, movies have been set there, people want to travel there. It just seems like it is more out there than the rest of Africa.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention in case nobody’s ever said it to you before: saying entire countries are “less civilized” is a pretty offensive/racist thing to say. From the point of view of people in Ghana, they have no less of a “civilization” than anyone else; they just may have different values, wealth, and technology in their civilization than in someone else’s. Some other, more descriptive phrases for what you might be trying to say is “wealthier,” “more covered by the news,” “more popular for tourism,” “more western,” etc. 🙂
