A usually walled city with a citadel (acropolis) as refuge, centre of culture and amenities and trade, plus agricultural land to support the populace. Each city-state, or polis, also had its own government. Some city states were monarchies ruled by kings or tyrants. Others were oligarchies ruled by a few powerful men on councils. Athens at one point became the worlds first democracy followed briefly for a few others.
