Geography and People

Geography

Birland, also known as Bir Tawil land, is a desert in the African continent located between Sudan and Egypt. It is a land with its own political border and it’s described in the Wikipedia as “Terra Nulius”, meaning no man’s land. 

The land size is 2,060 square kilometers (795.4 square miles) and it is bigger than countries such as Malta, Brunei, Bahrain, Singapore and Dubai.



Access to Birland

Birland is a landlocked state and accessible via Sudan. There are plans to construct an airport in Birland in future.

People

Some Ababda native people enter the land to graze constantly. They have a small village where they live in nomadic huts. However they have no birth certficates, no ID’s, no passport, no marriage certificates and no education certificates as no country has accepted them. There are currently about 3,000 stateless people waiting to accept official Birland citizenships once they can be issued.



Languages

The official language is English while some local languages are spoken among the people.
