So, in other words, it's one of the perfect places to actually practice terra-forming a wasteland into a thriving land and society. But of course, folks who talk about moving to Mars are highly unlikely to see it as such. But that's mainly because they haven't realized that if we can't terraform somewhere that already has a breathable atmosphere and water (in this case, the water is likely deep underground) then we certainly lack the ability to terraform Mars.

So, I rode a pure bred Egyptian Arab horse through parts of Bir Tawil in the late 80’s. A friend of mine who owns a ranch north of Bir Tawil in Egypt, breeding and raising Arabian horses, did guided tours through parts of Bir for a few years. I will never forget this time. We were in the desert for two weeks, living in nomad tents with our horses and a couple of guys with all terrain vehicles for our supplies. Generator and everything. It was amazing. I have never, and probably never will, experience the absolutely stunning silence of the earth. Two weeks in Bir Tawil we’re life changing for me. We were visited by Tuareg nomads for two days, we spoke French with each other. They taught us to hunt for small protein bugs that live under rocks, and showed us the trails of the wandering rocks; there are rocks that move miles and miles in the desert and they leave a trail behind, I don’t know what the phenomena is called.

obviously, hala'ib belongs to egypt. sudan didn't even exist as a country until the egyptians willfully gave them independence. the sudanese people had very little leverage to argue the border in their favor, so they just took egypt's offer at face value. it's not like they fought a war to force egypt to concede more land. the border between egypt and sudan was obviously decided by the egyptian government, the entity that controlled both territories at the time. both the 1899 line and the1902 line were pretty arbitrarily imposed by a foreign imperial power. the simple fact that the local and independent government of egypt endorsed the 1899 line makes it the slightly more legitimate of the two. egypt was extremely accommodating to allow sudanese officials in hala'ib as recently as 1996, as a show of good will. but sudan proved that they don't deserve that good will when they tried to attack the egyptian president. i don't know what they think they're doing, picking a needless fight with a much more powerful country. sudan is too weak even to hold onto its own land. south sudan successfully broke away from the country recently, and darfur may break away as well if conflict continues in the area

Ok, so i get why setting this up as a nation would be difficult, but if it's unclaimed what's stopping a corporation from setting up shop there and just claiming the land as private property wherever they fill out their taxes? I mean, it looks perfect for illegal experimentation. Big pharma could make a lot of use out of that. Any PMC would also love to have a permanent base of operations in Africa because there's a whole lot of work there for mercs. All of which could operate without any government oversight.

[@clericofchaos1]

@@garyallen9840 Technically no, if a corporation based in America laid claim to this land and started paying taxes on it, the land itself would technically be protected by American law. The thing is that getting cops and safety regulation inspectors down there would be next to impossible. So, in effect, unless one of your neighbors attempts military or police action the corporation would have to govern itself. Which means booby traps, automated lethal defense systems, mercenaries, and anything else that the corporate mind can come up with. It also means that anybody who happens to wander into your private land can then be used as an unpaid intern for the rest of their lives. In other words, a private corporation laying claim to this land would mean all the international protection of being American land, with none of the laws or ethical dilemmas that face corporations stateside, and as long as the taxes are paid that status quo remains.
