WHICH COUNTRY?

Home of the god Kings.
Cradle of civilization.
Famed monuments, mummies, and artifacts.
Slave masters but has reconciled with former slaves.

State inseparable from religion.
Prefers dictatorship to democracy.
Racked by religious terrorism,
Which is affecting her tourism industry.

Tourism may have been harmed seriously,
By continuing terrorist attacks,
Targeting tourists and non-Islamic religions,
Despite a heavy security presence.

Gulps large quantities of foreign aid,
For military purposes and anti-terrorism.
A Police state with limited freedom.
Leaders come from the military.

Suppresses dissent brutally.
No press freedom.
No freedom of expression.
Bedrock of inter religious strife.
