Kingdom of Africa (Arabic: مملكة افريقيا), is a self-declared country which lies between an uninhabited parcel of land Bir Tawil, between Egypt and Sudan. It was proclaimed on 8 June 2020.[1]

The size of the land in question is 2,060 km2 (800 sq mi), or roughly the same as Mauritius. It has not been administered by Egypt or Sudan. The land lacks infrastructure and lies on a desert. The official website of Africa does not state the reason for the creation of the nation.

Climate

For more details on this topic, see Bir Tawil#Climate.

Kingdom of Africa's climate is, according to the Köppen climate classification, a very hot desert climate (Bwh). During the summer months, approximately three-quarters of the year, temperatures can exceed 40 °C (104 °F), while its hottest three months (June–August) can see it as high as 45 °C (113 °F). During the brief winters, however (December and January being its mildest months), Bir Tawil can experience milder temperatures with 26 °C (79 °F) as its usual temperature peak.

Because the territory is far from the ocean (being at least 200 km (120 mi) away from the Red Sea), the diurnal temperature range throughout the region is large, varying from 18 to 20 °C (32 to 36 °F), year-round.
