Egypt
 * Government
 * Cleopatra II (104 BC-83 BC)
 * Ptolemy VIII (83 BC-present)
 * Military: Most of the elite army are Hellenic, but due to a severe shortage of manpower in the region of Greeks and sheer distance from Greece to Egypt, the dynasty resorts to establish military colonies to encourage immigrants to settle and increase manpower of the elite. Conscription was already attempted and was successful during the conquest of the Canaan Kingdom, but all of the conscripts are relieved from their duty in fear that military training would lead them to become better soldiers against the kingdom. But it is expected that conscription would come back again as soon as Roman expansion began to heavily threaten the integrity of the Hellenistic world.
 * 25,000 phalanxes
 * 20,000 other soldiers
 * Economy: The Nile is used for trading locally, while outside domestic affairs, the Mediterranean Sea is used instead. Coins are also minted in Egypt.
 * Demographics: Still keeping this up.
 * Population: 4,900,000
 * Alexandria (Capital): 300,000
 * Memphis: 280,000
 * Heliopolis: 120,000
 * Abydos: 80,000
 * Thebes: 300,000
 * Gaza: 59,000
 * Jerusalem: 105,000
 * Tyre: 69,000
 * Damascus: 100,000
 * Byblos (this city is slightly above Tyre I think): 75,000
 * Ptolemais in Cyrene (formerly Yhwh/Yahweh): 35,000
 * Cyrene (formerly Siarcuan): 50,000
 * Valeria (formerly Valyros): 60,000
 * Other cities: 900,000
 * Ethnicity: An assimilation trial initiated by the previous Ptolemaic kings is underway to create a group of Hellenised Egyptians by exposing some of the native children to other non-Egyptian material by their tutors (usually Greek), thus making it easier for them to gain manpower for the elite and reduce tensions in a hypothetical scenario. This would also be a tedious trial as well.
 * 80% Egyptian, 3% Aegyptian (Hellenised Egyptians), 2% Jewish, 3% Hellenic, 12% other
 * Religion:
 * 80% Egyptian paganism, 6% Hellenism, 2% Judaism, 12% other
 * Literacy rate: 18%
 * Events:
 * Building up defences: Defences of the Egyptian Kingdom are being set up across the land borders of the Aegean Empire and the Roman Republic unusually under Ptolemy VIII. He says that this is the only way to defend themselves from 'an ever-increasing threat'. Their navy had also being built at an ever-increasing shipbuilding rate in order to slow down a possible blockade. Usually their navy is relaxed but a Roman threat means they would need to respond to something immediately.
