History: Instead of focusing on opposing the British, the Khedivite of Egypt forms a strategic alliance with the British to counter act the power of the Ottomans in the 1880s. The Khedivite then focuses on strengthening its control over its southern territories of Sudan (Kush), Juba Sudan (Meroe), and Eritrea (Punt), by renaming everything with its egyptian names rather than arabic or european terms, they also begin expelling other dialects of arabic such as Juba Arabic and replacing them with the Egyptian Dialect. Schools are mandated to teach in this dialect. Furthermore in history classes a lot of emphasis is put on the ancient unity of the region by the early Egyptian states. The government also sponsors movement between the different parts of the country, namely by developing its rail and road infrastructure. In the early 1900s the government orders the mixing of ethnicities in regiments to try and further unite the nation's identity. In WW1 the Egyptians join the Allied Powers in late 1915 and initiate naval blockades of the Ottomans and Austrians. The Egyptians aid in the Arabian Campaign send advisors to train Lawrence of Arabia's Arab Army and liberating Gaza and southern Palestine with its own armies. In the 1920s the Government intiates a sanitization campaign following the impact of Spanish Flu, and opens a national Healthcare System, it also begins mandating cities and towns provide clean water to their citizens. The new King, Ahmed Faud I, is coronated in 1922, he spent much of his child hood and went to university in England and as such he desires to bring many of Britain's customs to the new country. He turns the informal Assembly of Advisors into the Parliament of Egypt in 1925, creating a new constitution which also renames the nation from the Khedivite of Egypt to the United Kingdom of Egypt and Kush. He divides the region into four Khedivites, the Khedivite of Egypt, the Khedivite of Kush, the Khedivite of Meroe, and the Khedivite of Punt, based along geographic boundaries. He also creates many libraries across the nation and creates a mandatory public school system with a modernized curriculum focusing around modern sciences and egyptian nationalism. Finally he does away with muslim laws and implements a more western legal code, based on that of France. In World War 2, Egypt again supports the British joining in 1939, the Egyptian fight off German and Italian invasions during the war and then aid in the Liberation of Italy. In 1953, the Socialist Party takes power in Egypt and is very supportive of the progressive policies of the monarchy, during the 50s they nationalize the oil companies and the suez canal in an agreement with Britain to allow preferential treatment for British vessels through 1980 and the establishment of a British joint military base outside of Alexandria. In the 1960s King Farouk dies and is succeeded by his son King Ahmed Faud II. This king is less interested in being a reigning monarch and supports republican ideals, in 1970 he agrees to relinquish all powers of the monarchy except those of a figurehead, and the right to approve or veto legislation as an impartial force. Egypt's growth slows in the 70s and 80s as after the death of Nasser, there is a rapid change among politicians which leads to no real long term planning. The political climate begins to stabilize in the late 80s however, with the Socialist Party regaining its foothold among the people.

Japan only beat the USSR in 1988, and that was after eight years of stagnation. And even then, to become the worlds bigest economy, you would have to beat the USA, Japan, USSR, West Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Mexico, Brazil, and Canada. That is not going to be easy at all.
