Egypt (Napoleon's World)

The Kingdom of Egypt is a North African nation based along the Nile River, much like its predecessors, the Egyptian Empire of antiquity and the Ottoman province of Egypt. The Kingdom was nominally independent from 1805, as it initially lacked recognition. In 1960, following the Black Sea War, the Kingdom was made fully independent with its diplomatic ties to the Turks forcibly severed by France.

Egypt has a population of about 80,000,000 people and is a constitutional monarchy, with King Fuad II currently the reigning monarch. The nation is the region's preeminent Arab power, as the Arabian Caliphate has often been wracked by conflict and the Turkish Empire is more Turko-European. The capital of Egypt is Cairo. Egypt also is home to the Sinai Canal, one of the most important trade routes in the world.
