The rugged terrain of Greece, characterized by mountains and rocky landscapes, often made communication between communities difficult. This natural barrier contributed to the development of isolated communities that were largely self-sufficient and had limited contact with neighboring areas. Additionally, the lack of fertile land in mountainous regions further isolated communities, as they had to rely on their immediate surroundings for resources.
Their land was broken by mountains and water, so the incoming nomadic tribes took over a section of farmland, built a central city and so formed an independent city-state, They prized their independence, were suspicious or hostile to neighbours, and so had no incentive to coalesce int what we today call a 'country'.
