The Land Without a Country
Bir Tawil is a 2,060-square-kilometer area along the border between Egypt and Sudan. It is one of the few places on Earth claimed by no country. The odd status arises from conflicting border demarcations in 1899 and 1902, under British rule. Egypt adheres to the 1899 line, placing Bir Tawil outside its borders, while Sudan follows the 1902 administrative boundary, which excludes it as well.
