A typical city-state would comprise a fertile plain/valley to produce food, protected by mountains, with a river for water, and often beside the sea for fishing and trade. A piece of high ground would be walled and used as a defensive sanctuary (acropolis) in time of invasion. A city would grow up around the acropolis as the state developed and urbanised.

To become a city-state it would have to have a decent population filled with people who spoke the same langage, had similar cultures and similar religions.

The city-states shared a common language, religion, and culture. They consisted of a city or town and the surrounding villages and farmland.
