Each Greek polis, or city-state, functioned as a tiny independent country due to its unique political, social, and economic structures. They had their own governments, laws, and military, which fostered a strong sense of local identity and autonomy. Geographic factors, such as mountains and seas, further isolated these city-states from one another, encouraging self-sufficiency and competition. As a result, each polis developed distinct cultures and practices, contributing to the diversity of ancient Greek civilization.
