橫跨非洲和亞洲的阿拉伯國家。在2011年阿拉伯之春的浪潮中，推翻當時的獨裁者穆巴拉克，但迎來下一個軍人統治者塞西，目前仍由塞西統治。其擁有的蘇伊士運河是亞洲與歐洲的橋樑，每年為埃及帶來超過50億美元的通行費收入。目前和衣索比亞有尼羅河水源之爭，若後者的復興大壩開始蓄水，造成埃及境內水位下降，恐引發區域衝突。是第一個和以色列建立正常外交關係的阿拉伯國家。

Year Founded: 1952

Egypt is a transcontinental Arab country spanning both Africa and Asia. The Arab Spring uprising in 2011 toppled President Hosni Mubarak, but the fall of the former dictator only gave rise to another military successor, el-Sisi, who has been in power to this day. Its Suez Canal connects Asia and Europe and produces over US$5 billion in toll fee income annually for Egypt. Currently, the state is in a political fight with Ethiopia over the Nile River water. Should the latter start to fill its Renaissance Dam, a regional conflict is foreseeable as the water level of the Nile section within Egyptian territory would fall. Egypt was also the first Arab country to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.
