Carthage

Carthage, officially known as the Empire of Carthage or Carthaginian Empire, is a large North African country for the upcoming season of Pixlies. Located primarily in the Western parts of North Africa, Carthage claims territories from Iberia to Morocco to Libya as well as having rightful interests in Iberia and parts of the Middle East.

Carthage currently has a population of 22 members, though that will likely be much higher in the future.

Carthage is currently in direct territorial conflict with France.

History
Carthage as an entity has existed since Pixlies X, though it wouldn't go public until much later due to complication with nation advertisements.

Foundation of Phoenicia
After the Downfall of the Republic of Italia, Carthage quickly created a pact with the remaining remnants of the Republic. After both sides became fairly close with one another, they merged to create the Empire of Phoenicia. A powerful Mediterranean super-state comprised of the Kingdoms of Carthage, Italy, Iberia and Phoenicia proper. With around 30 members from the old Turul Empire (Pixlies X), Carthage and Italy Phoenicia easily became the strongest nation on Pixlies for the period it existed.

Though unfortunately as the development for the upcoming season grinded to a halt, Phoenicia eventually became inactive. And thus Phoenicia never saw the light of day.

Rebirth of Carthage
After the return of VPrototype and the revival of Pixlies, Phoenicia quickly returned to activity. Though due to former members leaving, it dissolved back into Carthage with permission from the king of Italy. Carthage quickly amassed members from the fallen remnants of China and a couple of former members of Phoenicia growing to a population of 18 in only a few days after being recreated, with many more coming.

The Great Council's Members
Carthage may be mainly controlled by Shii, the supreme ruler of Carthage; a council was founded otherwise. This council consists of NoobGeneral, NasaSpaceShuttle, Mr_Archduke, SafeRemain, and Shii. Despite the existence of this council, Shii still has absolute power.
