Talk:A World of War: World X - Break Bad (Map Game)/@comment-33928881-20180611150315

Arab Republic of Egypt
 * Government: Egypt is a de-facto military dictatorship ruled by general Abdelfatah Al-Sisi. Even though elections are still held, they are a mere formality to legitimize Al-Sisi's continuation in power. For instance, Al-Sisi received over 97% of the votes in the 2018 presidential elections. Despite the lack of democracy, Al-Sisi is seen positively by the majority of Egypt's population. He's viewed as an strongman who puts Egypt above everything else, and he also represents a break from the establishment, contrasting with traditional politicians who are now depised due to corruption and political apathy. With the death of globalism and the neoliberali model, something represented by the fall of the EU, NATO, the Arab Council and other organizations, Al-Sisi has promoted nationalist policies, nationalizing many companies. The Egyptian deep state is now under military control, and anybody who opposes is taken down. Regarding religion, Al-Sisi has remained a moderate, taking neither extremly secular or islamic views.
 * Nationalism: The government has been attempting to revive the idea of Arab nationalism, promoting further cooperation with other Arab nations. Institutions and media are the main broadcasters of this ideology. Al-Sisi has also been working in the creation of a new nationalist party in order to control the remaining political structures more efficiently, with the announcement expected to happen by 2020.
 * Sinai insurgency: A new offensive is made to eliminate the remaining islamic groups in the Sinai. A change of strategy is made, focusing on dismantling entire groups rather than just the leaders. This is done through long-term undercover operations. The military also receives a boost, increasing their numbers.
 * Second Libyan Civil War: Involvement is slighty increased, but nothing relevant has occured in this front.
 * Military: As stated before, the military is being expanded to protect the Arab's Republic interests.
 * Egyptian Armed Forces: The Egyptian Armed Forces are the state military organisation responsible for the defence of Egypt. They consist of the Egyptian Army, Egyptian Navy, Egyptian Air Force and Egyptian Air Defense Command.
 * Egyptian Army: The Egyptian Army consists of 465,000 active personnel, 875,000 reserve personnel, 4,987 combat tanks, 16,029 armored fighting armored vehicles, 1,154 self-propelled artillery, 2,197 towered artillery and 1,235 rocket projectors
 * Egyptian Navy: The Egyptian Navy consists of 19,500 active personnel, 16,000 reserve personnel, 2 aircraft carriers, 11 frigates, 5 destroyers, 6 corvettes, 7 submarines, 62 patrol craft and 24 mine warfare vessels.
 * Egyptian Air Force: The Egyptian Air Force consists of 33,000 active personnel, 11,000 reserve personnel, 309 fighter aircraft, 426 attack aircraft, 183 transport aircraft, 385 traineer aircraft, 269 helicopters and 16 attack helicopters.
 * Economy: Since 2000, the pace of structural reforms, including fiscal, monetary policies, taxation, privatization and new business legislations, helped Egypt move towards a more market-oriented economy and prompted increased foreign investment. The reforms and policies have strengthened macroeconomic annual growth results which averaged 8% annually between 2004 and 2009 but the government largely failed to equitably share the wealth and the benefits of growth have failed to trickle down to improve economic conditions for the broader population, especially with the growing problem of unemployment and underemployment. After the 2011 revolution Egypt's foreign exchange reserves fell from $36 billion in December 2010 to only $16.3 billion in January 2012, also in February 2012 Standard & Poor's rating agency lowered the Egypt's credit rating from B+ to B in the long term. However, ever since nationalism became the World's most prominent ideology, Egypt has managed to increase stability under Al-Sisi's strong leadership, nationalizing oil companies and mantaining further control over the Suez Canal.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Sudan: Relationships are heavely increased, we propose to solve the border dispute by recognizing Bir-Tawil as part of Sudan if they agree to give up their claims on the Hala'Ib Triangle.
 * Syria: Relationships are heavely increased and an alliance is signed.
 * Japan: wags tail
