In contrast, de facto ("in fact" or "in practice") describes situations that exist in reality, even if not legally recognised . The terms are often used to contrast different scenarios: for a colloquial example, "I know that, de jure, this is supposed to be a parking lot, but now that the flood has left four feet of water here, it's a de facto swimming pool". </P> <P> It is possible to have multiple simultaneous conflicting (de jure) legalities, possibly none of which is in force (de facto). After seizing power in 1526, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al - Ghazi made his brother, Umar Din, the lawful (de jure) Sultan of Adal . Ahmad, however, was in practice (de facto) the actual Sultan, and his brother was a figurehead . Between 1805 and 1914, the ruling dynasty of Egypt ruled as de jure viceroys of the Ottoman Empire, but acted as de facto independent rulers who maintained a polite fiction of Ottoman suzerainty . However, from about 1882, the rulers had only de jure rule over Egypt, as it had by then become a British puppet state . Thus, Egypt was by Ottoman law de jure a province of the Ottoman Empire, but de facto was part of the British Empire . </P>
