[b]Name[/b] - Kartago

[b]Leader[/b] - Admiral Mansur Hariri
[b]History[/b] - Kartago is a reclusive state existing outside of the protection of the International Union's planetside sphere of control. Originally founded by Lebanese refugees angry at the early IU in the wake of the Beirut Scandal, an event that sullied the IU's handling of the evacuation of Earth during the Listener Invasion, Kartago became a haven for those trying to flee the safe zone states for any reason. They have accepted political refugees, adventurers and explorers, pioneers, the marginalized and many more groups that have an interest in the world outside of IU jurisdiction. Their reputation, however, is based on the more unsavory people the Kartagoans have attracted. Criminals, rebels, deviants, pirates, slavers... there are few better places for these sorts on Brahma. 

The Admiralty of Kartago is a loose dictatorship that has thus far, in it's short life, been inherited along bloodlines. The Government of Kartago is more interested in protecting the settlement from outside threats, making sure to obey IU Communication Restrictions so that the IU has little reason to crack down on them. They have also made alliances with Surrounding Tkai states, treating them as equally as they treat the human states. This alliance, combined with the common knowledge that the Kartagoans are well armed and are well acquainted with the southern jungles, have played part of the reason why the IU have let them be.

Several smaller communities have began to pop up in the area surrounding the small wilderness state. The government of Kartago, not organized in a way that makes them capable of running a full-fledged nation state, has made no significant attempt to govern them. In some ways, the presence of these smaller bases have turned Kartago into an anarchic mockery of the metropolitan cities of the Safe Zone.
