If you didn't raze it to settle Alexandria 1 NW, I'm going to have to kill you for too much incompetence.
Actually, I was going to keep it, but I razed it by accident

Part 27: The Assault on Niwi-Rst
After careful debate, the council opted to disband the city of Ineb Hejd and move the entire population to the coast to bring it more within the sphere of Phoenician influence. However, the areas surrounding Ineb Hejd were immediately claimed by the neighboring Kingdom of Niwi-Rst, the remnants of the Egyptian Empire's once grand capital. It soon became clear that in order to establish a settlement on the south side of the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians would first have to eliminate Niwi-Rst altogether.
Well aware that Niwi-Rst would likely put up more of a fight than their neighbors to the north, Phoenician generals applied to the Master's Council for aid. Several generals petitioned the Council to declare a sort of martial law in a few of the Phoenician Republic's highest-production cities, which the Council labeled "Selective Military Industrialism". In the end, the cities of Utica, Athenai, and Thapsus were selected to run the program, and infrastructure production halted as the cities began to churn out numerous siege battalions, which Phoenician biremes ferried across the Mediterranean to what used to be Egypt. By the time the six months of the program had run out, the Phoenician attacking force had nearly tripled in size.
All forces were sent to the outskirts of Niwi-Rst. There they divided into two battalions: the main attacking battalion, which assaulted the city from the north, and the siege battalion, which, guarded by pikemen, shelled the city from across the Nile.
It wasnt long before the city finally gave way under the massive artillery strike, and generals from the Phoenician army marched into the occupied city two days after the strike had commenced. There they negotiated a settlement with the city's government:
"The Kingdom of Niwi-Rst hereby acknowledges complete surrender to Phoenician troops, and abandons all territorial claims to land beyond the Nile."
With that, the city faded into obscurity, and the Phoenician military left Niwi-Rst a shell of what it had once been.
Part 28: Kerkouane
As soon as word of Niwi-Rst's destruction spread back to the Phoenician capital, a settling party was organized and sent to colonize the now abandoned northern coast of Africa. They established the colony of Kerkouane on the cost, northwest of the ruins of Ineb Hejd. As refugees from Ineb Hejd poured into the city, a governor from Kerkouane was added to the Phoenician Master's Council, and the city became a full part of the Phoencian Republic in 1018 AD.
Part 29: The Battle of Per-Atum
A few years later, a rogue siege battalion, led by General Custard, invaded the nearby city state of Per-Atum, which was captured with the loss of only one trebuchet.

Part 30: The Protectorate of Portugal
Records indicate that the Portugese rebels made contact with Phoenician traders in the early 12th century. The Phoenicians managed to establish a truce between Portugal and their much larger enemy Spain, and the king of Portugal was so grateful he allowed Portugal to retain its status as a protectorate, despite it being recognized by the Phoenicians as no longer belonging to the Spanish Empire.
Part 31: The Makkah Years
This time period also reflected an explosion of culture from Makkah. The city's unique combination of Arab and Phoenician cultures gave itself a very different feel than any other city in the Phoenician Republic, and Makkah became a center for art and learning in the first half of the 13th century.
Part 32: The Byzantion Conference
After nearly a century of peace, the Phoenician military, which now consisted of numerous riflemen and cannon brigades, was called to Byzantion to discuss how to best restructure the military in peacetime. Generals from all corners of the Republic convened in the Council chambers to decide what to do with the Phoenician Republic's large standing army, which now consisted of nearly 100,000 troops. To mark the occasion, the Phoenician capital was moved to Byzantion in the year 1270 AD. The Phoenician Republic had never been more powerful, nor more stable. But just as it looked like things were finally going well, disaster struck.
Part 33: The Anatolian Secession of 1279
The Anatolian Secessionist Movement was, as far as the Phoenician government could tell, a small minority that posed no threat to the establishment. However, with the government leadership and the national capital both absent from Anatolia for the first time in years, the rebel faction, which was historically the most powerful in Utica, Sur, and Thapsus, decided it was a perfect time to strike against the relatively weakened Phoenician leadership. Simultaneously, rebels seized the government offices in the three cities and demanded that the Phoenician government let them secede and form their own empire. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNH
