Egypt:

Hi, I’m Egypt!
I’ve been stuck between two big personalities—Germany
from the North and Brazil from the South—who are always arguing about who's better.

To be honest, I’m exhausted from all the competition between them.
They’re always focused on winning, on who's got the best this or
that, and they forget that we all have problems and solutions to
share! We need to understand each other, not just fight over who’s on top.

2005-2010:

"Back in 2005-2010, I was doing pretty well.
My plants (NPP) were working hard, especially around February
and March in 2002 when they were at their best,
taking in 0.079 CO2. Even in tough times,
like in March 2001, my plants never dropped below 0.056.
As for fire emissions, I had barely any! Only during August, September,
and October did I see a small spike,
but even then, my highest was only 0.018 in October 2004.

On top of that, I was great at absorbing carbon (NBE).
My best moment was in July 2002,
when I hit 0.042. Even my worst wasn’t too bad, at -0.042 in 2003.
Overall, I was handling things well,
with a stable population and very little environmental trouble."

2011-2015:

"This was an interesting period for me. My plants continued
their hard work, with the best results in March 2012 at 0.076,
and the lowest still not too far down at 0.059 in 2011.
June was usually my quietest time for plant activity,
with the lowest point in 2012 being 0.007.

I had some challenges, though.
There were some fires between July and October
again, but I managed to keep their impact low, even when
they peaked at 0.08 in 2011. Despite that, I was still able to absorb
a lot of carbon, especially in September 2013,
when I reached a high of 0.092. So, even though there were ups
and downs, I held my ground."

2016-2020:

"From 2016 to 2020, I really stepped up my game.
My plants reached their highest point in March 2020 at 0.091,
and even during quieter times like June 2016, they still took in 0.007,
which wasn’t bad at all. What I’m really proud
of is that after 2017, my fire emissions didn’t
even affect my CO2 levels anymore! I stayed steady,
keeping my wood fuel emissions constant and low.

And I kept doing my part in absorbing carbon (NBE).
Though there was a small dip in March 2020 to -0.054,
my efforts in July and September showed strong results,
proving that I’ve always been reliable when
it comes to balancing the environment. My population grew
a lot during this time, but I still kept things under control."
