The United Kingdom of the Egypt and Sudan, known simply as the UKES, or less accurately as Egypt and Sudan, or E&S, (in Arabic: مملكة مصر و السودان المتحدة , Romanized: Mamlaket Mişr wa As-Sudan Al-Mothedah) is a state located in the Mediterranean Region.

The United Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan currently consists of the three confederated constituent parts: the motherland Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan, and the Grand Duchy of Dakar and the Duchy of Cape Verde. Prior to November 17, 2004, the "Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan" referred to Egypt and Sudan and her colonial possessions in West Africa.

The United Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan is geographically divided into three regions. Egypt and Sudan is in northeastern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, Satimon, SchenaRah, and Sifiria, Dakar in West Africa bordering The Mess, and Cape Verde an archipelago of the North Atlantic Ocean, off the western coast of Africa. The federal capital is Cairo.

In principle, the UKES has a Central Government which is responsible for a limited range of affairs as specified by the Act of Union of the United Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan, dated November 17, 2004. The Head of State of the kingdom is the Monarch, who is also the monarch of the separate constituent parts – King Ahmad of Egypt and Sudan and His Majesty’s legitimate heirs. The affairs of the Central Government include Defense, Foreign affairs, Citizenship, Extradition and a common currency, with the central government being required to provide support for all members. The three entities are governed by one constitution.

Other affairs are delegated to the National Federal Governments. In practice, the Central Government of the UKES acts as the National Federal government of Egypt and Sudan Headed by the Prime Minister while two separate National Federal Governments headed by Chief Ministers are elected in Dakar and Cape Verde. The Act of Union 2004 ended the colonial relationship between Egypt and Sudan on the one side and Dakar and Cape Verde on the other side.

The United Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan has a single seat at the United Nations.
