Yamoussoukro is Ivory Coast's political capital (chosen for political reasons in 1983; Abidjan remains the commercial-and-population center). The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace — modeled on St Peter's in Rome, built 1985-1989 — is the structural landmark and one of the world's largest churches. Government quarters and university campuses anchor the small (population ~360k) planned city. Côte d'Ivoire grants visa-free or eVisa entry for many western passports (typically 90 days). No formal DNV. The structural draws: lower costs and tropical climate; the structural friction is limited nomad infrastructure — most foreign residents are diplomatic, religious, or NGO-affiliated.
