Polis = city.

A city was independent and self-sustaining, with a central defensive citadel (acropolis) with houses surrounded by walls, with sufficient farmland and a sea or river port. To be considered a worthwhile city, it had its own amenities - temples, gymnasiums, theatres, water supply and sewerage. An a political system which fostered unity and discipline of the people.
