As in the entire country? And freezing to what extent?

1. The whole thing.
2. To the point where ice covers everything and you can't see anything else.

Like there's just one block over the entire country or there's just a layer of ice over everything?

A layer of ice.

Any idea how thick the layer is?

At least a foot, maybe more.

And this was done instantly?

Almost. You see the area freezing at a quick pace. It would have been done in about 10 seconds at most.

That I am unsure of. All I can say was Christmas past a while ago.

Egypt has an area of 1.01e+16 cm^2
1 foot = 30.48 cm
1.01e+16 x 30.48 = 3.07848e+17 cm^3 = 3.07848e+11 m^3
Q1 = MC(Delta T) = (3.1600597e+14 kg)(1040j/kg)(-196-(-210)) = 4.6010469e+18 joules
Fusion energy nitrogen = (Mass of nitrogen)(Latent heat fusion) = (3.1600597e+14 kg)(25702j/kg) = 8.1219854e+18 joules
Q2 = (3.1600597e+14 kg)(1040j/kg)(40-(-196)) = 7.7560505e+19 joules
Vaporization energy nitrogen = (3.1600597e+14 kg)(199190 j/kg) = 6.2945229e+19 joules
Q1 + Fusion + Q2 + Vaporization = 4.6010469e+18 + 8.1219854e+18 + 7.7560505e+19 + 6.2945229e+19 = 1.5322877e+20 Joules, 36 Gigatons of TNT
