The Republic of Carthage (or just "Carthage") is a medium-sized nation on Horizon's End. Carthage specializes in building and trade, with their city's bazaar hosting the widest selection of items of any on the server. Carthage is for the most part a city-state, with the nation's population and activity heavily concentrated in their trade city of Carthage, which is among the most active settlements on Horizon's End.

Cities

Carthage

Main article: Carthage

The city of Carthage is a Trade City located on Lioda, and led by WatchmanPhileo. It is the oldest player-made Trade City on the server, achieving Trade City status on 23 November 2022. Carthage is the server's most active center of commerce, selling a majority of items obtainable in the game on their bazaar. The city of Carthage offers buildings to both members and non-members of the nation for lease.

The build style of Carthage consists of a combination of large, modern buildings, as well as more detailed industrial structures. Being built on Lioda, Carthage is situated atop an uneven cliffside; as a result, Carthage has many winding and sloped roads, as well as extensive artificial terrain.

Additional Settlements

Querencia

Querencia is a settlement owned by TeamsterCon, located directly south of Carthage. It is connected to Carthage by road.

San Dorio

San Dorio is a settlement owned by Oriomium, located directly southwest of Carthage.

History

This is very skeletal. Needs expansion and detail from somebody with more intimate knowledge of Carthage history.

Before Horizon's End

Before the end of StarLegacy and the launch of Horizon's End, many members of what is now Carthage were part of the nation Aegea, led by WatchmanPhileo. The nation of Aegea, similar to Carthage today, was centered around a trade city called Atlantis.

After StarLegacy shut down, the members of Aegea decided to return on Horizon's End, and build a new trade city.

Echelon Caliphate

For approximately its first year, rather than being an independent nation, the city of Carthage was a member of the Echelon Caliphate, the most powerful nation on the server at the time.

While a member of Echelon, Carthage gained trade city status on 23 November 2022, becoming the first player-made city on the server to do so.

Carthage declared independence from the Echelon caliphate on 6 February 2023, establishing the Republic of Carthage.
