The seat of the Republic
Valdor Point & The Concord Stone
Where the 22nd parallel and the tribal line part company, a wedge of desert opens that belongs to nobody. Valdor Point is the first ground inside that doorway — a hectare lying roughly a kilometre in from the point where the two boundaries separate.
At its centre stands The Concord Stone, the marker of the Realm: a stone bearing the name of Valdoria, set ≈330 m south of the boundary Egypt asserts and ≈1.1 km east of the boundary Sudan asserts. Two empires drew two lines and never agreed where they met. We placed a stone in the gap between them.
The Concord Stone
“Two lines were drawn, and where they disagreed, this ground was left to no one. Valdoria takes it up — not to own it, but so that something unwanted is nonetheless spoken for.”

Our frontiers
The borders our parcel touches, and how far each one lies.
| Direction | Country | Distance | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | Egypt | ≈330 m | The 22nd parallel — the 1899 political boundaryEgypt asserts this line, which would place Bir Tawil in Sudan. |
| West | Sudan | ≈1.1 km | The 1902 administrative boundary — “the tribal line”Drawn to follow tribal grazing land, which is why Bir Tawil was administratively assigned to Egypt. Sudan asserts this line. |
| East & South | Sudan | ≈90 km east, ≈30 km south | The 1902 administrative boundaryThe far side of the Bir Tawil trapezoid. |
The 22nd parallel is an exact line of latitude. The 1902 administrative line is irregular and has never been precisely published, so westward distances are approximate to roughly ±1 km.

Why this desert belongs to no one
In 1899 an Anglo-Egyptian agreement drew the border between Egypt and Sudan along the 22nd parallel — a straight line on a map. In 1902 a second, administrative boundary was drawn to reflect how the land was actually used by the people living there.
The two lines disagree in two places. One is the Halaib Triangle, a large and useful coastal region. The other is Bir Tawil: roughly ≈2,060 km² of waterless desert.
Because each country can claim only one of the two lines, and each prefers the line that grants it Halaib, both must renounce Bir Tawil. It is, as a result, the only significant habitable-adjacent land on Earth claimed by no recognised state.
Valdoria claims one hectare of it — not the whole territory, which would be ridiculous — as the national seat of a republic founded on the idea that something unwanted can still be worth caring for. The Concord Stone marks the spot.

Chancery & Consulates
Where Valdoria actually gathers
Since no one lives in the Territory, the working seat of the Republic is its Chancery, and its consulates are wherever citizens raise the flag. Photographs of the Chancery and of citizen gatherings will be published here as they are taken — genuine pictures only.
