	Autonomous entity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An autonomous (subnational) entity is a subnational entity that has a certain amount of autonomy.
		Typically an autonomous entity contains a national minority which is different from the national majority, or is geographically distinct.
		Another large city that is currently pressing for autonomy is Rosario, in the Santa Fe Province.

	federation - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The difference between a federation and this kind of unitary state is that in a unitary state the autonomous status of self-governing regions exists at the sufferance of the central government, and may be unilaterally revoked.
		While it is common for a federation to be brought into being by agreement between a number of formally independent states, in a unitary state self-governing regions are often created through a process of devolution, where a formerly centralised state agrees to grant autonomy to a region that was previously entirely subordinate.
		For the Spanish parliament to revoke the autonomy of regions such as Catalonia or the Basque Country, or for the United Kingdom government to unilaterally abolish the legislatures of Wales or Scotland, would be a near political impossibility.

	Leon Krier: "The City Within the City".
		The true grandeur of a city depends on the intelligence of its physical and social organization, on the familiarity of its public spaces, the beauty of its monuments and finally, on the wisdom with which one knows how to exploit the beauties and the accidents of nature to the greatest advantage of all its citizens.
		The old city becomes the heart of too-large a body, and under the combined pressures of building speculation and the growing tertiary sectors, it slowly disintegrates, with the population in the center dropping.
		The city is the ideal state, the mean between the tyranny of the village and the tyranny of the metropolis.

		Cities are usually (but not necessarily or by definition) sexually integrated (monastic conurbations qualify, but are infrequent) and of fixed location (but Sarai and Kibuga qualify).
		Cities are then herein the first defining criterion of a civilization, or rather of "civilization." The second criterion, which allows us to distinguish a plurality of societies as "civilizations," is that of internal politico-military interaction, and external politico-military isolation.

		The city of Abila is mentioned on an inscription ("C. G." No. 4501) as being included in the Decapolis.
		The cities of the Decapolis used the Pompeian era in reckoning dates; were organized entirely along Hellenic lines; had Greek worship and Greek games, and were always hostile to Jews.
		The Talmud speaks often of the pagan population of these cities, the philosopher Oenomaos of Gadara, for instance, being cited; hence several cities mentioned in the Talmud under other names may have been identical with the cities of the Decapolis, as Susitha with Hippos, Peḥla with Pella.

	THECHANGING ROLE OF CITIES IN WORld systems
		The medieval European cities in which capitalists took state power were not unique in kind, but their dense concentration within a small region amplified their effects on the logic of accumulation in that region.
		Many of the medieval cities of Europe were similar to the capitalist city-states of old, except that the tributary mode of production within which they operated was itself fragmented and unable to repress the growth of merchant wealth or to prevent the escape of serfs to the cities.
		The earlier capitalist cities that resisted the formation of large states in their territories were superceded by larger states that were able to exploit the growing scale of production, transportation and regional integration.
