Political
New Carthage is a Senatorial Republic, with a Senate made up of 100 of the elders of the community. These are chosen as part of the electorate to which they belong; Saguntum Nova, New Carthage, the Conurbation, or the Colonies. Each of these elders is voted by the people and serves a 10-year office, with half the elders being replaced every five years. Women, non-ethnically Carthaginians, aliens, and non-natural-born citizens and may not vote; neither may they pursue a career in politics.

In times of war or other national crises, the Senate may select a tyrant to rule for the duration of said emergency. This tyrant will be chosen according to his abilities in the subject of the crisis (e.g. a general in times of war). He must be deposed once the crisis is declared to be officially over, however.

New Carthage has a tax rate of 2,000 nocks per person.
