Bir Tawil, officially the Free Republic of Bir Tawil or the Free Republic of Bi'r Tawīl, is a landlocked country located in Northern Africa. It is located between Egypt and Sudan.

Bir Tawil is a region without a permanent population. Bir Tawil is sometimes described as the only piece of habitable land that is not claimed by a recognized entity. Bir Tawil is considered to be terra nullius. This status results from a discrepancy between the straight political boundary between Egypt and Sudan established in 1899, and the irregular administrative boundary established in 1902. Egypt claims the political boundary, and Sudan claims the administrative boundary, with the result that the Hala'ib Triangle is claimed by both and Bir Tawil is claimed by neither.[1]
