Classical Greece
Geography:
Greece is very mountainous and is almost completely surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Greece has over 1400 islands. They have mild winters and lengthy dry and hot summers. The mountain ranges divided Greece into 9 regions. Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Central Greece and Euboea, the Peloponnesus, the Lonian Islands, the Agean islands and Crete. Greece had a lot of mineral deposits such as marble, clay, nickle, coal, bauxite, ore, and chromate. All of these natural resources were good for building and jewelry. If they had regions then im sure thats kinda like have different towns. They probably stayed in their regions unless they needed something they did not have in theirs.
Government:
A big number of Indo-Europeans migrated from Eurasian steppes to Europe, India, and Southwest Asia. A small amount of these people who settled on the Greek mainland around 2000 B.C. later were known as Mycenaean's. Mycenae is the leading city that it got its name from. It was located on a steep, rocky ridge and surrounded a protective wall that was 20 feet thick. This city could stand through almost any war or attack. Mycenae, a warrior king rulled by the surronding villages and farms. Mycenaean communities in towns such as Tiryns and Athens were controlled by influential and militaristic rulers. There are many ways to rule a Greek Polis.
