Kingdom of Lower Egypt


 * Location: Cairo Governorate, eastern Giza Governorate, and some small parts of surrounding regions in Lower Egypt.


 * Population: 3.79 million, reduced due from the pre-war population for various causes.
 * Military: Egyptian Army, the Royal Guard, and the "Egyptian Navy" (river flotilla) -- greatly reduced remnants of Egypt's prewar military. The regular army is essentially a gendarmerie while the royal guard are the King's protectors. The navy has some gunboats on the Nile for security.


 * Politically, the Egyptian monarchy was restored as a way of bringing back order, with the power shared with the executive, supported by the military. A new party called the Egyptian Ba'athist Party is in power, somewhat based on Nasserism but being pro-monarchy and with more emphasis on Egyptian rather than pan-Arab nationalism.


 * The economy is centralised to some degree and government planned, but some free market aspects remain. On the local level a lot of bartering goes on, but the government is developing a currency and creating trade guilds for different fields.


 * Education is being developed, with the government trying to restore it.


 * No contact with anyone else except other groups along the Nile, as it is used for trade.
