The Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan, commonly known as Egypt-Sudan is a country in north-eastern Africa. It borders Palestine and Arabia to the east, the Mediterranean sea to the north, the East African Federation to the south and Eritrea and Ethiopia to the south-east.
The Egyptian-Sudanese state is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy comprised of the two constituent countries of Egypt and Sudan. It is the successor state to the nominally-independent but British-occupied Kingdom of Egypt of the early 20th century and the condominium of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Egypt is considered the more powerful as well as more developed and populous of the two, a situation that has lead to political complications in the past and the institution of a federal style of governance. Although it is geographically situated in Africa, Egypt-Sudan - especially Egypt - has developed close cultural and political ties with the "Blue" European states, at times viewing itself as culturally European as opposed to Arab or African. It is a member of the Alliance of Free States.
