Egypt (Early Industrialization)

Egypt (i/ˈiːdʒɪpt/ ee-jipt; Arabic: مِصر‎‎ Miṣr, Egyptian Arabic: مَصر‎‎ Maṣr, Coptic: Ⲭⲏⲙⲓ Kimi), officially the Democratic Republic of Egypt and North Africa, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, the Red Sea to the east and south, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Mali, and Mauritania to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan, and across from the Sinai Peninsula lies Saudi Arabia, although Jordan and Saudi Arabia do not share a land border with Egypt. It is the world's only contiguous Afrasian nation.

Egypt has among the longest histories of any modern country, emerging as one of the world's first nation states in the tenth millennium BC. During this time, they set up complex trade routes with modern-day India, China, Pakistan, Japan, England, Spain, France, and Italy. During the 300's, Egypt's technological prowess began to bloom, with the inventions of the water frame, steam engines, factories, and drills. Soon, Egypt started expanding underground, building massive cave systems with their drills to research and develop new ways to get electricity. Egypt was the first country to fully use geothermal energy in the 500's by piping lava up to the caves and sending the energy to the surface through wires. Egypt benefited further from their early industrialization with the invention of the personal automobile in the 600's. During the 700's, Egypt had switched to clean energy sources, using solar panels and wind farms to generate electricity. By 771, they were producing 0 emissions as a country. Soon, they took over a majority of the Northern African peninsula.

The technology that Egypt developed continued and continued to advance rapidly, with the invention of the first Artificial Intelligence, named KHUFU, which led to use of AI to calculate more complex mathematical equations. These AI were eventually tasked with designing the project of a "perfect cave" for citizens to live in and sustain their lives in, which resulted in the Experimental Sustainable Cave Community of Egypt project, also known as E.S.C.C.E.. Egypt’s technological advancements also paved the way for the development of the Internet in the late 1400's. By 1485, Egypt colonized the areas surrounding Jerusalem, including modern-day Syria and Jordan.

In 1496, Egypt sent traders and colonists over to the newly discovered American continents, with Egyptian colonists arriving at Argentina and Florida years before their Spanish counterparts. They soon established steady trade relationships with the native peoples, enabling the Atlantic Exchange. In 1776, the United Kingdom, under the rule of King George III, went to war with the (at the time) British-controlled colonies. Egypt offered military support to the American rebels, and were able to support the French in their revolution afterwards. Egypt continued to protect native citizens of the Americas, even going to war with Spain to protect them. Technology only increased more, with new ways to harvest new American crops, such as maize and tomatoes.

Egypt was one of the key countries that set up the African Union, which played a large role in the first and second World Wars. They were also instrumental in ending American slavery (ending in the early 1800's for both continents), establishing equal rights for all citizens, and the structuring of the United States of America's land (after George Washington specifically requested the use of their complex AI systems). Egypt has since become a world power, fighting against global climate change and civil injustices in foreign countries.
