Answer:

A city-state, or polis, was the community structure of ancient Greece. Each city-state was organized with an urban center and the surrounding countryside. Characteristics of the city in a polis were outer walls for protection, as well as a public space that included temples and government buildings.

These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other. The sea was often the easiest way to move from place to place.
