Kemet (1983: Doomsday)

Kemet, also known as Greek Egypt, is a state within the Greek Federation.

Post Doomsday
The Muslim Brotherhood, taking advantage of the chaos, staged a coup in November 1983. The Brotherhood imposed a harsh regime based on Islamist precepts. Over the next few years, political freedoms became nonexistent, women's rights were suppressed, and the native Coptic Church withered under religious persecution, many Copts fleeing to both Libya, Crete, and Cyprus.

The Islamist yoke was finally broken in February 1987, when Egypt attempted to invade Israel. The Israelis, which were still dealing with the effects of Doomsday and were in no shape to fight, responded by nuking Cairo. The attack on Cairo-which proved to be the last nuclear attack launched to present destroyed the Muslim Brotherhood in their established stronghold of the Grand Mosque, in the heart of Cairo. The resulting power vacuum saw many local warlords rising, and just as quickly, falling. It was nearly a year before the situation had stabilized.

Survivors of the attack congregated in the south, near the Aswan High Dam. The military took control of the situation, organizing the citizens into corps of farmers, fishers, and laborers, to help build a new capital with the decimation of Cairo in the nuclear bombing by Israel. A group of laborers widened and lowered the Sadat Canal from Lake Nasser, enabling the creation of the Toshka Lakes (Arabic: توشكة‎) by the mid 1990's.

The military decided to reduce the flow of water from Lake Nasser, instead diverting it to the west, where farmer corps worked to improve and farm the desert. Refugees from Lower Egypt increased both the workforce and the mouths to feed, and the military devoted most of their control to ensuring food for their citizens.

As the water continued to flow toward the desert, it created the new Eonile, moving north, toward the Mediterranean Sea.

Great Migration
With radiation from the nuclear strike on Cairo flooding the Nile delta, and reduced water levels of the Nile due to the diversion into the Eonile, radiation sickness and disease became rampant. With word of workers needed to farm and develop the newly fertile Eonile valley, millions began migrating south and west. Many Copts remained, seeing the opportunity to escape the opression of the Arab rulers.

Arrival of the Hellenes
In 2003 groups of Greeks approached the leadership in the Kharga Oasis about developing the coast in return for assistance in developing the Egyptian infrastructure. In no position militarily to contest the overt colonization of the northern coast, and believing it a radiated wasteland from the stories of the refugees, the Kharga Oasis government accepted the proposal of the Greeks tentatively. Greek humanitarian groups, colonists, and engineers began landing in the Nile Delta, mostly in massively depopulated Alexandria, but also elsewhere along the coast. Recruiting local arab and copt workers they began efforts to decontaminate the Nile north of Cairo as well as recovering many old Egyptian artifacts. Seeing the potential of the land and with the Egyptian government still believing the area to be a wasteland, the Greeks requested annexation of the Nile Delta in exchange for further aid. The Egyptian government agreed due to the difficulties it was having with the influx of migrants from the delta and the delta was ceded to the Greek Confederation as a protectorate in late 2003.

Fear among the general public caused by the seizure of relics and the annexation of the delta brought a freeze to relations between the Greeks and Egyptians from 2003 to 2005, until negotiations and a show of good faith on the part of Greeks began to win back the good will of the Egyptian survivors. As part of the ground-laying of the new Egyptian Capital on the shores of the new Qattara Lake (بحيره القطاره), the Greeks constructed a number of Old-Egypt styled monuments as a symbol of their friendship as well as aiding in the construction of a new museum to house many of the recovered Egyptian artifacts. With the cleanup effort in the Delta going well, and the Greek administration friendly to the Copts, many of the Coptic refugees that had fled to the Eonile began to return to the delta.

A joint Greek-Egyptian expedition was sent to Cairo in 2008 where they discovered that the bomb exploded in East Cairo, and that the Egyptian museum survived the blast, but was flooded and collapsed. The damage was extensive, but many artifacts survived and were taken to the new Grand New Cairo Egyptian Museum as well as being stored in Alexandria for future display in the under construction new Great Library of Alexandria.
