When they settled in Syria-Lebanon, their different tribes formed independent city-states each with their separate land, city centre and government. These cities liked their independence and had no desire to submit to other cities.

The Phoenician world was comprised of independent city states which did not unite.

Their 'colonies' were in fact trading stations, and so did not have any political being. Exception was Carthage, set up by Tyre, which became an important independent city-state which did not choose to 'unite' with its parent city.
