To the best of my knowledge, there are three sovereign city states in the world today: Monaco, Singapore and the Vatican.
A city-state is a sovereign state that consists of a city and its dependent territories. Historically, this included famous cities like Rome, Athens, Carthage, and the Italian city-states during the Renaissance but today only a handful of sovereign city-states exist, with some disagreement as to which are city-states. However, a great deal of consensus exists that the term properly applies to Singapore, Monaco, and Vatican City.
A city-state is basically a sovereign city and its surrounding area. Italy and Greece used to be composed of city-states.
