Germany
>>2282145
>Rome
How?
>>2282152
The conquered them and took their shit, they're the only legitimate successor. There is no other continuity between Carthage and anyone else.

>The conquered them and took their shit
So you are turk that believes that the Ottomans wuz Roman and shiet?
>>2282170
It could be argued they technically were and no I'm not a Turk.
Anyway, retard memers should realize that "successor to Rome" isn't the same as "similar to Rome." It really rustles my jimmies when some shit for brains Ameriburger claims America is somehow Roman successor. It's like claiming that [insert some right wing politician] is actually Hitler's son just because he acts like Hitler.

t.Hans Mehmet Ataturk
>>2282205
Nah but keep flinging /int/ memes around if it helps you.
>>2282214
t.Recep 'second ottoman-empire' Erdogan
>>2282159
I think he means Carthage as a historical parallel
>>2282143
I'd argue portugal is more like carthage.
Spain had a very large hold over Europe back in the day.( I'd say spain is more like rome in this context)
Portugal has stayed more or less the same size in Europe for...almost 700 years now? That being said I mean on the home from carthage was small, like portugal. But got the majority of its power and wealth from oversea colonies and trade.

Modern Tunisia is the only official claimant.
