It is bordered by the Mediterranean to the north, Sudanball to the south, Israelcube to the east with the Red Sea, and Libyaball to the west. The countryball is divided into 27 governorateballs, including the capital Cairoball located in the Cairo Governorateball, giving it a total area of 390,121 square miles, making it the 29th largest countryball in the world. As of 2023, its population is 107 million, the 14th most populous in the world.
It is a member of the African Unionball, Arab Leagueball, and OICball due to being a majority-Muslim countryball in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the UNball like almost every other countryball.
Its national day is 23 July.
== (History) ==
The history of Egyptball has been long and rich, due to the flow of the Nile River, with its fertile banks and delta. Its rich history also comes from its native inhabitants and outside influence. Much of Egyptball ancient history was a mystery until the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered with the discovery and help of the Rosetta Stone. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the other Seven Wonders, is gone. The Library of Alexandria was the only one of its kind for centuries.
 Ancient Egyptball started as a mix of 2balls and 8balls. Human settlement in Egyptball dates back to 40,000 BC with Aterian tool manufacturing. Ancient Egyptball civilization coalesced around 3100 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egyptball under the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty, Narmer. Predominately native Egyptball rule lasted until the end of the Late Period in 332 BC. Soon after, Egyptball was taken over by Achaemenid Empireball.
In 332 BC, Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great conquered Egyptball and established the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdomball, whose first pharaoh was one of Alexander's former generals, Ptolemy I Soter. The Ptolemies had to fight native rebellions and were involved in foreign and civil wars that led to the decline of the kingdom and its final annexation by Rome. The death of Cleopatra ended the nominal independence of Egyptball, resulting in Egyptball becoming one of the many provinces of the Roman Empireball.
Roman rule in Egyptball (including Byzantineball) lasted from 30 BC to 641 AD. Coptball was born when primitive Christianity came to Alexandriaball, shortly after the ascension of Jesus Christ and during the reign of the  SPQRball in Egypt around 42 AD. From Alexandriaball, Christianity spread throughout Egypt. By the beginning of the 3rd century AD, the Church of Alexandria was recognized as one of Christendom's four Apostolic Sees. It agreed with the Egyptian language (Coptic), which gave rise to the Coptic Patriarchate of Alexandria.
The Christian Egyptballs (Copts) preserved their language (derived from the ancient Egyptian language) and religion to avoid persecution from radical Muslim Egyptballs. Under Muslim rule, Copts, along with other minority religionballs, paid taxes called jizya to be protected and was equivalent to zakah in Islam. Copts had little access to political power and were mostly exempt from military service. But they were allowed to practice their religion unmolested.
Their position improved dramatically under the rule of Muhammad Ali in the early 19th century. First, it abolished the jizya and allowed Egyptian Christians (Copts) to join the army. Then, in the late 19th century, Coptballs started to be appointed to be judges in Egyptian courts and started earning political rights and representation in government.
Speaking of the Islamic conquest of Egyptball, parts of Egyptball became provinces of successive Caliphateballs and other Muslim dynasties: Rashidun Caliphateball (632-661), Umayyad Caliphateball (661–750), Abbasid Caliphateball (750-909), Fatimid Caliphateball (909-1171), Ayyubid Sultanateball (1171–1260), and the Mamluk Sultanateball of Egyptball (1250-1517). In 1517, Ottomanball Sultan Selim I captured Cairo on 22 January 1517, after the victory of the Ottoman Empireball troops in the Battle of Rydania, absorbing Egyptball into the Ottoman Empireball.
When Ottomanball got into Egyptball's clay, Ottomans had access to the African continent. Egyptball becomes a province (vilayat) of the Ottoman Empire. But already, in 1524, there was a rebellion against Turkish rule. In 1576, the Ottoman Empireball established direct power in the territory of Upper Egypt, which had previously been under the de facto rule of the Bedouin sheiks.
In November 1768, Egypt Eyaletball broke off vassal relations with the Ottoman Empire, and in July 1770, Egypt Eyaletball proclaimed its independence. During the Russian-Turkish War (1768-1774), Egypt Eyaletball entered into a military alliance with Russia and, with the support of the Russian fleet, began a war with Ottoman Empireball. In 1771, Egyptball captured Damascusball and occupied Syriaball. However, by the end of the 18th century, Egypt Eyaletball again fell under the influence of Ottoman Empireball.
Egyptball remained entirely Ottoman except during Franceball 's occupation from 1798 to 1801. although UKball forced Franceball to withdraw, Franceball's liberal ideas would be seen to affect Egyptball, turning them into a smelly frog eater minor revolutionary state under the rule of Muhammad Ali. Poor Egyptianballs were allowed to join the army, wore modern uniforms, and were supported by European experts. After expanding to conquering Funj Sultanateball, it got into to fights with the Ottomanball over Levanti clay , soldier alert, Egyptball failed to expand its clay once more. Franceball wanted to get access to French colonies in Asia, so the Suez Canal was officially built with the help of UKball. Egypt also became wealthy during the American Civil War because Europeanballs wanted to buy cotton somewhere because USAball was busy.
Starting in 1867, Egyptball became a nominally autonomous tributary state called the Khedivate of Egyptball. However, Khedivate of Egyptball fell under British control in 1882 following the Anglo-Egyptian War. Egypt remained under Ottoman influence despite British colonization until 1914, when a Sultan replaced the Khedivate. Egyptball contributed to pushing the Ottomans out of the Levant for Britainball. After the end of World War I and following the Egyptball Revolution of 1919, the Kingdom of Egyptball was established. Despite being a "de-facto" independent state, the British retained control over foreign affairs, defense, and other matters. Some Copts participated in the Egyptian national movement for independence and occupied many influential positions. Unfortunately for Coptball, this period was a short time. British occupation lasted until the Anglo-Egyptian agreement of 1954.
 The Republic of Egyptball was founded in 1953, and with the complete withdrawal of British forces from the Suez Canal in 1956, it marked the first time in 2,300 years that Egyptball was both fully independent and ruled by native Egyptians. Coptballs have faced an identity crisis after the 1952 coup d'état that transformed Egypt into a republic. Pharaoh President Gamal Abdel Nasser (pharaoh president from 1956 to 1970) introduced many socialist reforms, such as nationalizations and land reforms. He also turned Egyptball into a secular republic and persecuted Islamists. In 1958 he created the short-lived United Arab Republicball (with Syriaball). Their terms also saw the Six-Day War and the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement. 
 Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat (pharaoh president from 1970 to 1981), changed Egypt's trajectory, departing from many of the political and economic tenets of Nasserism, re-instituting a multi-party system, and launching the Infitah economic policy that introduced Egypt to neoliberalism. It led Egyptball in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 to regain Sinai Peninsulaball, which Israel had occupied since the Six-Day War of 1967, later leading to the Egyptball– Israelcube peace treaty. Another thing Egyptball got involved in under its presidency was a pan-Arab union with Libyaball, that being the Federation of Arab Republicsball (with Syriaball in it). However, in 5 years, Libya regretted the idea and disbanded it. Sadat also started bonding with Islamists and got rid of secularism in 1980. Still, they would assassinate him one year later, resulting in the succeeding governments continuing to crack down on Islamists.
Recent Egyptian history has been dominated by events following nearly thirty years of rule by former pharaoh president Hosni Mubarak. In 2011, Egyptball underwent a revolution (aka a country's mental breakdown) that deposed Mubarak and resulted in the first democratically elected pharaoh president in Egyptian history, Mohamed Morsi, who was associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. After the 2011 revolution and related disputes, unrest led to the 2013 Egyptball coup d'état; now, Al-Sisi is the pharaoh president.
Until recently, Christian Egyptballs were required to obtain presidential approval for even minor church repairs. Although the law was eased in 2005 by handing down the approval authority to the governors, Copts continue to face many obstacles and restrictions in building new churches. Today, Egyptball provides Coptballs the best educational services, and Muslim and Copt Egyptballs protested together against the military regime, and both are allowed to participate in the government of Egyptball and have equal rights.

* It is sometimes confused with Yemenball.
* The Egyptians were the first to adopt the 365-day calendar.
* In the Arabic language, the native name of the country (Miṣr) is a feminine noun. This explains why Mother of the World (Om El Donia), the national personification of Egypt, is a woman.
* Driving a car in Egypt is an adventure. There are horn sounds everywhere, especially in the capital Cairo. It scares people who are not from there, but the Egyptians get along very well with their traffic.
* The Cairo metropolitan area has only 25 traffic lights. However, there are more than 20 million people.
* One of the curiosities of Egypt is that camels are part of the traffic in various places in Giza, and Uber is one of the best transport options for those traveling independently in the country.
* Portuguese and Spaniards are world-famous for exploring the seas worldwide, but Egypt created the sailboat.
* Even today, artifacts from Ancient Egypt and mummies are found. Across the country, several archaeologists are excavating. One of the most excavated places is the Valley of the Kings, in Luxor, where the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was found.
* Despite the large number of people excavating the country, no traces of the famous pharaoh Cleopatra, who ruled Egypt for 22 years, have been found.

* The Cairo Derby, or Great Cairo Derby, is how the soccer matches between Egypt's two most important teams are known: Al-Ahly and Zamalek Sporting Club.
