Upper Egypt - Something that hasn't happened in thousands of years: Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt have been divided

The Greater Levant - mostly Arab but with many minorities, and the greatest religious diversity: sunnis, shi'as, catholics, jews, alawites, druzes, coptic christians, etc.

Greater Iraq - mostly shi'a, but with an important sunni minority, and various ethnicties: Arabs, Persians, Azeris, Kurds, etc.

The others - I don't know enough to say much confidently. I need someone else to chime in.
