This guide provides a lot of inspiration and a great example of the principle and thought that goes into creating a city state. However, it really lays out a specific example of A SINGLE city state and doesn't really give you the tools to build YOUR OWN city state.
I definitely found this a good read that will help me to deepen some aspects of the city state already present in my campaign, but this document wouldn't really have helped me to create my own custom city state at all.
That being said, the city state that is laid out as an example is very detailed and would provide an excellent setting for any DM's campaign. This document just seems to miss its goal of helping other DMs to create THEIR OWN city state and future resources would be improved by focusing in that direction.
