Carthage is first and foremost a republic. The nation is ruled by its wealthy upper crust, a group of select few Phoenician magnates who were lucky enough to find prosperity in distant North Africa. An oligarchic rule is the status quo of Carthage, a position that ensures internal stability and a maintenance of regular economic and military spending. Carthaginians and the subjugated people who live under the republic have come to understand and work within this system.
