What is the date? And is Egypt independent?

Either someone with North Caucasian POPs conquered that part of Egypt, and they moved within the nation southwards, or they might be representing the migrant minorities living there historically. There was a lot of migration within Ottoman Empire's eastern areas when it still spanned from Iraq to Algeria. not far away from the game's starting date.

Playing as the Ottoman Empire, I saw that Egypt has some North Caucasian pops in its provinces and I wondered what they were. Anyone have any idea?
the good thing about them is hat you can easily turn these places into states because North Caucasian not being a Cultral Core

They're historical. They represent the "Circassians", a Muslim northern Caucasian ethnic group who spread throughout Syria, Iraq, and Egypt in EUIV time. The Mamluks, the rulers of Egypt until Muhammad Ali slaughtered them, were often Circassian. Circassians were traditionally warriors well into the modern period; the Great Syrian Revolt of 1926 had many Circassian units revolting, for example.
