Is Persia a city-state?

Persia is definitely not a city-state. In fact, many sources state that Persia no longer exists. The great Persian Empire is now the large nation of Iran, taking up over 1.6 million sq km (630,000 sq miles), and compromising many great cities, Tehran, Esfahan, and Shiraz among them. A city-state is a sovereign state the size of city, while Persia (now Iran) is much larger than a city, and actually consists of several hundred cities.
