Carthage (Doom's World)

This article is about the nation in Doom's World; for other uses, see Carthage.

Carthage was a short-lived nation in Doom's World founded by DoomShroom.

Pre-War Era
Carthage was founded in late December of 2018 when Doom purchased Tunisia for 8 diamonds from France. The nation existed for a few days (at least 3, given that rules at the time gave new nations immunity for 72 hours). During this time was the controversial demotion and ban of Dan for spawning in items; many in the community felt that Dan had been punished too harshly. As well, Doom was being a general nuisance to the community (as usual); notably, they posted repeatedly about a skyscraper in the nation.

Aragan-Carthaginian War
Doom's actions caused the Holy American Empire (at that point temporarily reorganized into Araga) to declare war on their nation, becoming the Aragan-Carthaginian War. Carthage was quickly overwhelmed and destroyed; however, as the rules at the time did not allow for enforced peace treaties, Doom fled first to Venice and later to America intending to grief. They refused all offers of peace, claiming to want to make Araga's victory "as painful as possible." The Aragans, however, left the server, leaving Doom unable to grief. The next day, Mich logged on, not knowing that the war had ended; this lead to Doom griefing several American cities, including Lancaster (the Aragan capital) and New Orleans. Mich eventually logged off, but not before Doom griefed the Japanese embassy; this prompted Flaming to threaten to join in on the war unless Doom accepted peace. At about 5 PM EST, Doom accepted peace with Skali.

Aftermath
Considering the extent of Doom's griefing, they were forced into a relatively harsh peace treaty; as well, rules about enforced peace treaties were later added to prevent a repeat of Doom's actions. As a result of the war, Doom effectively quit the server for several weeks, returning in a limited capacity near the end of January. Their experiences in Carthage (along with other factors) eventually pushed them over the edge, leading to the end of Doom's World, the IP leak, and Doom being banned for over 2 years.
