Since 1991, the north-western third of Somalia has been the de facto independent but unrecognised 'Republic of Somaliland', which in stark contrast to the rest of Somalia, is somewhat stable and pirate-free, but is not recognised by any other country (but has informal ties to several nations, including Ethiopia, Djibouti and the UK).

So what POD would be required to make this aspiring nation an official member of the international community? Is it even possible? If not, what is it's logical future, with the rest of Somalia being what it is at the moment?
