Attempts to claim Bir Tawil as a sovereign state

Common card · No. 295338

Bir Tawil is a landlocked tract of land lying between Egypt and Sudan that, owing to the nature of a border dispute between the two countries, is claimed by neither. Due to its status as de jure unclaimed territory, a number of individuals and organizations have attempted to claim it as a micronation. Because of the remoteness and hostile climate of the region, the vast majority of these claims have been declared online from other locations. No claim has been recognized by any government or international organization. Claims made by the attempted settlers have received large amounts of media attention.
