Not in the short term, but our long term planned outcomes say I will take that and more steppe land.

Ofc according to those plans I will lose my northern coast.

MILITARY
Military Description: While there is quite little industry to support a local army itself, Apennine makes sure that a large army and navy protects it's African colony. Equipment is modern and the army experienced fighting tribal enemies and technologically inferior armies. Non-italians are not allowed in the armed forces, which provides a large amount of italians in Egitto with work in the military. It is however quite dependent on it's motherland for advanced supplies and equipment.
Army: Active - 85,000 // Reserves - 640,000
Navy: Active - 40,000 // Reserves - 120,000
A total of 130 combat-efficient vessels can be deployed, including a few ironclads and armoured frigates. About 70 are Nile galleys. Apart from galleys, there are mostly steam ships.
Elite Units:
Ferronaves (Landships) - The armoured landcorps was sent to Egypt from Venice almost 15 years ago, and has proved being a dangerous weapon capable of making any tribe surrender. The 20 Landships have been polished and upgraded for desert usage and is one of the colonial administration's most elite and powerful forces.
Marina aerea (Airships) - A strikeforce able to travel great distances and attack enemies from the air, the 12 airships employed are indispensable. Among the vessels is The Caligula, a massive aerial ship and pride of the Apennine flying navy. 9 of the ships are quite small though, and employ very little weaponry. These are mostly used for transport for the higher bureaucracy.
Viceroyal guard - Elite infantry force and police of 3,000 men responsible for the security of the Viceroyalty and security within the government.
HISTORY
Brief History of Nation:
1590-1591 - The Apennine Confederacy declares war on the Ottoman Empire claiming rightful hegemony over Egypt. The Sicilian Count Davide Sesto assumes control over the United Confederate forces and wins several decisive battles in the war's earlier stages. Death rates are quite low in these battles, as the confederate forces win before significant casualties can be inflicted.
1591-6 - The majority of the war is fought through minor offensives from the Apennine side resulting in the slow occupation of Egypt and evential conquest of Sinai. The Ottoman navy stand no chance against the Apennine which results in several port assaults on major Ottoman cities. The relatively tiny amounts of Apennines who die during the war mostly die guarding civilian settlements and alike, as there are many riots against the occupation.
1597 - The two involved powers sign a peace treaty on Cyprus, resulting in the entirety of Egypt and Sinai falling in the hands of the Apennine Confederacy. A directoral council representing all Apennine states in Egypt is established.

1597-1618 - The directoral council and it's colonial armies takes control over Egypt, taking seat in Cairo and with it's power emenating from the Nile. While venetian leadership wanted a canal built to connect Italy and India as soon as possible, colonial administration deemed it unnecessary and expensive and something to build in a distant future. Militarily, the council did agree on expanding the colony southwards along the coast. Tribes and petty kingdoms were subjugated through brute force, while the larger Sultanates in Somaliland and southern Eritrea were incorporated through conventional wars or exploiting trade agreements and further influence. Christian missionaries are given many privileges in their spreading of the true faith, and italian immigrants are handed egyptian farmland along the Nile to own and work on. Even greeks and Croats from the Confederate possessions are given similar rights and are welcomed into the growing administration and bureaucracy.

1620 - The De Rubeis gains unchallenged control over the Confederacy after years of scheming. The colonial administration in Egitto is considered inefficient and the directoral council is replaced by an autocratic official loyal to the crown. It is declared the Viceroyalty of Egitto shortly after Emperor Leonardo De Rubeis's coronation and the first to hold the position of Viceroy is Fidenziano Li Causi, skilled administrator and military commander.

1624 - Viceroy Fidenziano Li Causi enforces the enslavement of the Tigre people after a series of rebellions in Eritrea, and starts an extensive slave trade within the Viceroyalty.

1630 - Famed engineer and architect behind the Imperial Palace in Venice Aureliano Santo D'Orsi is employed by the Emperor to construct a canal between the Mediterranean and Red Sea to ultimately create a closer naval bridge between India and Italy. The viceroyalty provides thousands of slaves and the Apennine Imperial royal family extensive amounts of monetary resources.

1647-1672 - The canal is finally completed and Egitto establishes itself as a centre of trade and commercial bridge between nations and the Empire's territories. A new capital bordering the Egitto canal is established in the old city of Damietta in 1654, becoming even more a commercial city and administrative seat. A modernizement of the military is done as the Confederate military develops, and a proper Nile navy is constructed. The Viceroyalty even constructs an aerial navy and receives powerful landships. An industrial boom in important cities such as Damietta, Alexandria and Cairo occurs and infrastructure is improved significantly. The European population in Egitto can be calculated to almost 15%.

1672 - Newly crowned Empress and Queen Maria De Rubeis picks Armando Santo D'Orsi as Viceroy for Egitto. Armando Santo D'Orsi is son of the late Aureliano behind the Egitto canal and an experienced naval commander.

Your claims conflict with the Milan colony in South America. You can either sort it with him, or just drop any contested territory.
