Answer 2

A city-state is a kind of small country, one that is essentially one urban area. Singapore is a good modern example. Athens was one in ancient times, and Rome was a city-state before it became the capital of an Empire.

Modern city-states have very little agriculture or mining, with most economic activity either commercial, industrial, or transportation. Family sizes tend to be smaller, since larger housing units are more expensive, and extra kids are usually only more profitable on a farm. Populations also tend to be better educated.

Answer 3

City-State is a sovereign state consisting of an independent city and its surrounding territory (outside its borders).  It serves as a leader of religious, political, economic, and cultural life.  Today, only a handful of political entities reflect the features of city-states, namely Singapore, Monaco and the Vatican City.  Key words:  sovereign, independent cities.

Country is a sovereign territory that usually governs within its borders.

A city a place with uninterrupted dwelling with a considerable population. where as a state is a a conglomerate of villages and cities. A country is a place with so many states. In other words A country contains states and state contains cities.

Answer 5

A CITY is an urban settlement. Definitions vary between countries, in some population size is a criterion, in others a city may be a settlement with a particlar administrative, legal, or historical status.

Large industrialized cities generally have advanced systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. This close proximity greatly facilitates interaction between people and firms, benefiting both parties in the process. However, there is debate now whether the age of technology and instantaneous communication with the use of the Internet are making cities obsolete.

A big city, or metropolis, may have suburbs .Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban sprawl, creating large amounts of business commuters. Once a city sprawls far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis.

A STATE is a political association with effective sovereignty over a geographic area. These may be nation states, sub-national states or multinational states. A state usually includes the set of institutions that claim the authority to make the rules that govern the exercise of coercive violence for the people of the society in that territory, though its status as a state often depends in part on being recognized by a number of other states as having internal and external sovereignty over it. In sociology, the state is normally identified with these institutions: in Max Weber's influential definition, it is that organization that "(successfully) claims a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory," which may include the armed forces, civil service or state bureaucracy, courts, and police.

In political geography and international politics, a COUNTRY is a political division of a geographical entity. Frequently, a sovereign territory, the term is most commonly associated with the notions of state or nation and government.

In common usage, the term is used casually in the sense of both "nation" and "state". Definitions may vary. It is sometimes used to refer to both states and some other political entities.[1] while in some occasions it refers only to state.[2] It is not uncommon for general information or statistical publications to adopt the wider definition for purposes such as illustration and comparison.

There are non-sovereign territories (subnational entities, another form of political division or administrative division within a larger nation-state) which constitute cohesive geographical entities, some of which are former countries, but which are not sovereign states. Some are designated as countries, others are not. The degree of autonomy and local government varies widely. Some are possessions of such states — as several states have overseas dependencies, with territory and citizenry separate from their own. Such dependencies are sometimes listed together with states on lists of countries.
