The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This concept stands in contrast to that of a regular state or country, which typically encompasses a capital city and additional urban centers, in addition to the countryside.
- Throughout history, numerous city-states have emerged in various regions of the world, including prominent examples such as Rome, Carthage, Athens, and Sparta, as well as the Italian city-states that flourished during the Medieval and Renaissance periods, such as Florence, Venice, Genoa, and Milan.
- With the rise of nation states worldwide, there remains some disagreement on the number of modern city-states that still exist, Singapore, Monaco and Vatican City are the candidates most commonly discussed.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The City-state article was read about 290,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
