When we inevitably return to city states....

Anonymous Coward 5/8/2013 3:15 pm	When we inevitably return to city states.... ...what happens to people who live in the countryside? How far would city state boundaries historically extend?
Anonymous Coward 5/8/2013 3:17 pm	When we inevitably return to city states.... rate of expansion and increases in life expectancy will challenge that even further methinks
Anonymous Coward 5/8/2013 3:29 pm	When we inevitably return to city states.... Today, only five independent, sovereign city-states exist: Monaco, Singapore, Vatican City, San Marino and Malta. Has anyone been to Singapore? What's that like?
Anonymous Coward 5/8/2013 3:38 pm	When we inevitably return to city states.... A New Era For The City-state? The contemporary city-state has flourished primarily in two regions: the Persian Gulf and Southeast Asia. The development of text and Singatextpore provided a critical stage for Southeast Asia, which has been home to the world's the greatest economic expansion. Hong Kong, now a quasi-independent part of China, competes with London's West End as the world's most expensive office market. By one account, it is experiencing the fastest growth in rents of major office markets in the past year. Once known for their poverty and destitution, these Asian city-states now boast incomes comparable to many European and North American cities. The Persian (or, as some like to call it, Arabian) Gulf constitutes the other hot bed for 21st Century city-states. Over the past decade, a string of once obscure cities from text have risen to positions of global significance.

Anonymous Coward 5/8/2013 5:29 pm	When we inevitably return to city states.... OP, those are very good questions although your introductory sentence is a bit far fetched... :) What would be your answer to your two questions, OP? ------------------------------------------------------------ Historically, a City State Boundary would only extend as far as to not endanger its whole, its concept, of which the Country Side is part of but not dependant of in the first place............
