A country is usually defined as a nation with its own government; a country also occupies a particular territory. Many countries are sovereign and independent, while others may be dependencies. The United States of America is a sovereign and independent country, and so are France, England, Brazil, and South Africa. A country may contain a number of states: a state is a region which has its own local government, but it is part of a country. For example, in America, we have 50 states. Each state has a governor, and he or she is in charge of that one state. But the leader of the entire country is the president.

Italy has 20 regions the country itself is a state. Not like here in the states where each region is a state. The original meaning of state is country. So that's the rest of the world. Like American football and football to the rest of the world.
Europe does not have a prime minister. Europe is a continent, not a country. It has over 50 independent countries. Those countries have their own governments, each with a head of government. So Europe has many prime ministers.
A city can be part of an independent state/country, which might have several or many cities within it. A city-state is an independent single city which owns land around it, hence it is called a city-state (use a hyphen). Examples today are Monaco, Brunei and Singapore.
Each independent city-state had its own laws.
Each independent city-state had its own king and council.
The theory that defines the state and national governments as essentially separate from each other and carrying out independent functions is dual federalism
