=== Foundation of Phoenicia ===
{{see also|Empire 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.

=== 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 [[Mr Archduke|Mr Archduke's]] [[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.

=== Carthage-France Territorial Dispute ===
Shortly after its rebirth, Carthage quickly discovered it had new found territorial disputes with [[France]], mainly in Northern Algeria and Corsica. Carthage originally attempted to reach out to the President of the republic [[TAMaurice]], though any form of diplomacy was quickly denied. This dispute is currently still on-going.

==== Treaty of Malta ====
[[File:Carthage claims.png|thumb|Carthage's claims prior to the Treaty of Malta]]
After many hours of discussing, both sides finally came to an agreement through the Treaty of Malta. In which Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta and the Balearic Islands were handed to Rome and Carthage gained full control of Iberia. Due to both also having historical claims on Cyprus as well it was agreed that the island would be claimed by neither side. And finally, it was stated that Carthage and Rome would both maintain healthy and positive relations with one another, though the Romans infamously broke this part of the treaty very quickly. Claiming Corsica for themselves, having "Hold France and Carthage responsible for their actions" as a goal in their First National Diet and attempting to send two separate spies into Carthage in retaliation of France sending one shortly.
 
=== Stock Crisis ===
On the 22 of December 2023, RERC (A Punic company) reset it's stocks due to the prior inactivity on the server and the transfer of ownership from [[HinduCrab]] to [[Mr Archduke]]. Though one of the stock owners [[Skulli]] was outraged to hear his stocks had been "stolen". [[Almanac Inc.]] now refuses to have any forms of operation in Carthage due to it being considered unsafe for business and the company may eventually sue Carthage in response to stocks being taken.
 
Though despite Skulli's efforts, most people outside of Almanac believe he is solely to blame for the crisis instead of RERC or Carthage.
 
=== Final Breath ===
Unfortunately, after Pixlies' 2nd bout of inactivity, Carthage returned to it's slumber. And with the perm ban of one of Carthage's most prominent members, [[SafeRemain]] it was incredibly unlikely the once great nation would return. Accepting reality after Pixlies being announced to release in the summer [[Shii]] decided to finally kill off the nation and turned a new leaf founding the [[Angsana Empire]].
