The Teyrnir of Carthag is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Teyrn Syrio vos Vollar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 15.49 billion Carthagians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carthago. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Carthagian economy, worth 768 trillion kamas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,609 kamas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Carthag Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, students do more community service than homework, and ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carthag's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Carthag is ranked 311,245^th in the world and 60^th in Westeros for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
