Thank you. I am aware of Bir Tawil.
We could technically colonize it given the ample area it has, the solar energy there and using sea water for desalination. In fact it would be perfect for us.
The problem is that there are 40 million angry Muslims to the south and 96 million angry Muslims to the north and the pipe to get the salt water for desalination would have to run through either of those countries.
Even if we assume we will not be immediately attacked and a high fighting ability on our side it would require millions in military hardware and at least 1000-10.000 soldiers/citizens willing to fight to stay there remotely safely.
We could settle it with fewer numbers and our current budget and just hope we don't get invaded before we can grow, but that would be a huge risk to take I think.
But yeah if we had 10.000 citizens signed up and my investments grew about 20-50 times we could do it.
It's also possible we could get some military hardware from Russia in exchange of letting them build an airbase or something.
