Nova Carthagena

***Carthago Nova*** acts in this world as a country that is located where **Tunisia** was in a far away past from now.

The Country's extense is approximately ***195.600 km2*** considering all its colonies and territories and has a total population of ***13.987.000*** residents. The nation borders *Greater Morocco* and the *Harsh Arenum Desert* to the West, the *State of Vitalia* to the North and the *Turks' Libya* to the East and South. The ***Medjerda River*** is the most important water resource of the State others than the sea, and on its banks is where the major cities were born. The other great bodies of water are the ***Lakes District of Carthagina***, the ***El Djerid*** lake in the South and the ***Sebkhet Hani*** near ***Sfaxoris***, another big city in the Central District that has a majestic port.

The Country's reign began with the *Sultan **Hajafarid the Wonderer***, a mystreious semi-legendary figure whose origins are still unknown to us. We know that he had been exiled from a far away land and thus he began searching for a place to stay in... 3 days passed, he and his family (wife and 2 children) were tired and thirsty, but right when they were going to give up, a *five-legged cow* appeared in front of them praying to spare her. And that's what they did. As a reward for their mercifulness, the cow made water spring from the harsh land surrounding the family and thus the history of *Carthago Nova* began. 5 generations after *Hajafarid*'s reign, the capital city was built on the remnants of an old bastion full of metal and glass artifacts from a lost civilization who praised those items as divinities. Now we are the strongest country in this sea that we call *Mediterrum* and our economy thrives, thanks to the commerce of this old relics that we mentioned before and other glass jewels. Agriculture and cattle raising are very practiced near the rivers and lakes, but they still have to be considered "undeveloped" if put to comparison with fishing, the main source of food in the region, navigation and commerce.

Our *oversea territories* include the ***Cyrenaica Colony***, that owns ***Cyrene*** and ***Tobrukai***, the ***Ichnusa, Corsica and Siculia Colony***, with ***Panormo*** and ***Sassaria*** as its main cities, and the ***Baleares Colony***, with its most important base located in ***Mahòntus***. *All of these territories are by all means part of the Country, they all have to pay the tribute to the mainland, thus attacking or offending any of them will be considered an act of war to the State and it will not be forgiven unless repaid!*

Our military accounts of *245.000* *land units* in total, with *200.000* of them being *infantry*, *30.000* *chivalry* and the others *15.000* *support units*. Our *Sea Navy* is made by *65.000* total active personnel, with *50.000* of these being *Assault Ships*, *7.000* *Cruisers*, *5000* *submerged units* and *3000* "*Mother Ships*", as we call them**\***. In the end, our *Airforce* owns *16.000* *wind-powered Attack Aerumplanes* and *3.000* fuel-engine Explosive Planes**\***, which must carry 2kgs circa of explosive material that will be discharged on the enemy.

Its Capital City is ***New Carthage***, located in the **Gulf of Tunis**, and has approximately *561.000* inhabitants with a density of *4.943/km2*. The houses are made in a base of cotten clay, the walls are built in compact sand and the roofs are made of papyrus wood, excellent to store the water from the rains and waterproof too. All of these parts are then reinforced with a layer of alloy and iron to keep the buildings safer to natural disasters or war events**\***.

**\***all of the ships, aerumplanes and buildings have been reinforced with iron and alloy following the instructions left behind in the "*bastions of the lost ones*", but we still don't know what other use could be applied to these materials, so we are searching for other people or texts capable of explaining us those techniques we haven't learnt yet.
