Rules
If the United States explicitly and formally recognizes Somaliland as a sovereign state independent from any previously recognized country after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, the market resolves to Yes.
This could include: opening a U.S. embassy with Somaliland, accepting an ambassador from Somaliland, including the entity as an independent country in U.S.
Department of State country lists, or signing a formal treaty, bilateral agreement, or communique that explicitly identifies Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.
Merely acknowledging a governing authority exists, without recognizing its authority, is insufficient to resolve the market to Yes.
Establishing a consulate or liaison office without the formal status and language of recognition does not qualify.
Trade offices, cultural centers, or other non-embassy missions are insufficient.
