Adez
Adez, a Greek city-state focused on trading and fishing, had many unique attributes. For instance, it was located near the Black, Aegean, and Mediterranean Seas, and was on the base of a river. Its inhabitants were mainly fishers, traders, merchants, or part of the military. They were an esteemed oligarchy and had a capitalist economy. The men were ranked higher than the women, so women generally took care of children and did the cooking and cleaning. Children were ranked under the women, and slaves had almost no rights. The slave population consisted of outsiders captured in either war or ambushes. Education started for boys and girls at the age of seven. Then, the boys continued in specific learning based on the job they would have later in life once they turned twelve. Adez saw itself as a decent city-state, and traded with just about anyone, except for Crete, their rival. The city-state, in general, was closely aligned with Athens, but also had qualities that set it apart.
