'''City-states''' are extremely small sovereign [[nation]]s, usually only containing a single city after which they are named. They were common in ancient [[Greece]] and usually had a fair number of rivalries and political alliances, but would ban together during times of foreign threat.
Historic examples include [[Sparta]], [[Athens]] and [[Corinth]]. Their infighting, along with the infighting of other Greek city-states, was infamous, but so was their ability to ban together to defeat the [[Persian empire|Persians]] when that great empire sought to absorb Greece.
Modern examples of city-states include [[Andorra]] and [[San Morino]].
