A city is comprised of a relatively large population that is described as having some sort of historical establishment and legal system. Cities have their own court systems, law enforcement, fire departments, and some form of medical care centers. There are some cities which don’t have a full hospital, however they do have medical emergency services. Some cities have utility services, housing divisions, and even public transportation systems that can help move the community from one side of the city to another.

There are city limits which surround all cities which signifies to travelers that they are leaving what is the city and are either traveling through another city or the county till they reach another city.

A county is a geographically defined area that is typically divided for political purposes. Counties can vary in size and separate a state into different areas, similar to a province. There are a many cities and towns that fall within a given county, and they are all tied together by political leadership. There can be many different political viewpoints among the citizens of any given county, however they are tied together in voting for the same people.
