埃及在穆罕默德·阿里治下除了最為技術的層面都已擺脫了奧斯曼帝國的統治獲得獨立。不過近來在敘利亞的收穫肯定會激起奧斯曼帝國高門的回擊。埃及能活過即將到來的風暴嗎?
埃及是一個位於北非和中東的 未受認可的主要政權。在遊戲開始時,埃及擁有 漢志作為 朝貢國,並與 土耳其之間存在一個持續到1840年的 停戰協議。與奧斯曼帝國的衝突是埃及的首要挑戰,但如果挑戰成功,埃及將成為該地區的主導力量。
在研究 泛民族主義之後,埃及可以成立 阿拉伯。
歷史背景
自1517年馬穆魯克被擊敗以來,埃及一直是奧斯曼帝國的自治領土。在拿破崙戰爭期間, 法蘭西在1798至1801年間占領了埃及。法國撤軍後,當地的馬穆魯克統治者、已經在埃及的奧斯曼軍隊和被派往穆罕默德·阿里·帕沙控制下恢復秩序的奧斯曼軍隊之間發生了一段時間的戰鬥。四年的戰爭後,穆罕默德·阿里掌握了埃及的政權。奧斯曼帝國將他視為
穆罕默德·阿里還進行了幾次軍事戰役,他在阿拉伯從 內志手中奪取了漢志,征服了 蘇丹,並在 希臘革命中支持奧斯曼帝國,提供了軍隊和船隻。在埃及海軍覆滅後,穆罕默德·阿里要求奧斯曼帝國將 敘利亞行省交予他作為補償。在奧斯曼帝國拒絕這一要求後,1831年他準備使用武力奪取這一地區。在一場迅速的戰役和奧斯曼軍隊的慘敗之後, 俄羅斯,法蘭西,以及 大不列顛介入並促成和平,承認了穆罕默德·阿里對敘利亞、克里特島和赫賈茲的控制權,但沒有正式承認其獨立。

Diplomacy
Egypt rules over 漢志 as a Tributary and has a Truce with the 土耳其 until 1840.
Egypt neighbors many smaller countries, including the Ottoman's Puppet 的黎波里, which adds an additional front to any war with the Ottoman Empire.
Egypt starts with active interests in Anatolia, Balkans, Arabia, Ethiopia and Nile, and declared interests in Congo, Niger, North Africa and Zanj.
The Ottoman Empire has claims on all of Egypt's states in Anatolia and Arabia.
Economy
Egypt starts with a substantial GDP – 12th in the world in 1836. However, it has few industries and little resource production, relying primarily on agriculture. Egypt starts in a deficit, primarily due to a lack of taxation capacity in its capital state.

Industry and resources
- Industry
- Egypt starts with a moderate amount of industry, notably its Arms Industry, along with a smaller number of Textile Mills, Glassworks, Paper Mills, and Shipyards. Resource production is effectively none, as Egypt begins with only a small number of Logging Camps and no mines of any type. However, it has a fairly developed agricultural sector with several cash crop plantations, notably Cotton Plantations and Tobacco Plantations.
- Resources
- Egypt has access to coal, sulfur, iron, and lead, though none are being exploited in 1836. It also has the ability to grow many cash crops, as every type except rubber can be grown in at least one starting state, even opium and silk.
Military
Egypt has the Professional Army law.
Egypt begins with 130 regular battalions and 24 conscript battalions available; nearly all battalions use the same set of production methods: Line Infantry, Mobile Artillery, Cavalry Scouts, Standardized Infantry, and Wound Dressing. Five regular battalions in Adana use Irregular Infantry and Cannon Artillery instead.
Egypt starts with 25 flotillas, all using the base production methods: Man O' War, Escort Frigates, Commerce Raiders, and Naval Traditions.
Strategies and guides
Egypt begins in a precarious, but powerful position. It has a small amount of industry and the capability for more; a large, professional, and expensive, army; and many routes for conquest. It also is guaranteed to come to conflict with the 土耳其 over Syria and the Levant. However, with careful expansion of its industry and conquest of its neighbors, Egypt can easily become one of the Great Powers.
Economy
Egypt has a well-developed agricultural sector and the ability to grow many cash crops, exports of these cash crops can provide a much needed revenue source for further industrialization. For resources, iron, , and wood are the key goods to develop initially. Be mindful of infrastructure limits as before Railways are available, many states have almost none.
Once iron, coal, and wood production has increased, tools and steel are the next priorities. From there, industrialization can continue in the usual manner, expanding industries whose outputs are expensive or in high demand.
Enacting consumption taxes on tobacco should provide enough income to offset the starting deficit, but more steady income will be needed for the long-term.
Politics
Egypt begins with few progressive laws. Notably, it starts with Serfdom and Slave Trade. Along with Monarchy and Hereditary Bureaucrats, this gives a total +150% increase to the clout of the Landowners. And with the Intelligentsia and Industrialists starting marginalized, it's difficult to form a government which supports any meaningful change at first. Passing either colonization law is a good early move. Egypt can expand southward immediately, though slowly before Quinine is researched.
Diplomacy and military
Egypt's starting army is equal to most major powers and can contest even with some great powers. Making effective use of this army early on is key to succeeding.
Although Egypt starts with 漢志 as a Tributary their relationship is poor, allowing for an early diplomatic play to make it a Vassal. If any other Arabian minor powers side with Hedjaz, add them as vassal targets as well. The Ottoman Empire may also intervene, but this is to Egypt's advantage, as the Ottoman military is weaker than the Egyptian military early on. If the Ottomans join this or later diplomatic plays, focus on liberating nations, File:Wargoal war reparations.png war reparations, and revoking File:Wargoal revoke claim.png claims, in order to minimize 24px infamy.
Continue to File:Wargoal make vassal.png make vassals of the rest of the Arabian minors, keeping in mind that the 特魯西爾諸國 is a Protectorate of 大不列顛, so don't make a play against them directly. Maintaining good relations with the European great powers will help keep them out of your wars with the Ottoman Empire, particularly Great Britain, 俄羅斯, and 奧地利.
After liberating 伊拉克 and 保加利亞, the Ottoman Empire should be weak enough to be easily defeated in every war and can be dismantled or annexed at your leisure.
