I know they are not popular in this forums, but I‘d propose them nonetheless. Egypt‘s very general ability would make modern leaders possible as well. First that come to mind are Saad Zaghlul and Nasser. The latter would obviously have preferred to lead Arabia instead, but its ability dorsn‘t fit him. Both would twist Egypt in a different direction, use different colors from Cleo, a different capital (shared with Saladin however) and different icons. Nasser is of course still a bit controversial, but I can imagine a really great leader screen for this incredibly charismatic leader with a big personality. The problem with Saad is that he isn‘t that famous outside of Egypt, but he is a national hero along with the great Pharaohs there.
