I played too much Morrowind, thus my choice of the term "canton". If it's a classic city-state, then it's more like surrounding counties with the city itself at the center (though it's certainly been depopulated in that case). If it's a single city, then there's a small center of administrators and/or elites. I deliberately leave this sort of thing out for future rules and amendments to cover. | I played too much Morrowind, thus my choice of the term "canton".

I played too much Morrowind, thus my choice of the term "canton".
