Just gona throw this out there but shouldnt Vatican City be in there? Cultured and Irrational.
I don't think it would feel right at all to in 4000 BC to find a Vatican City city-state.

I dont think it would feel right at all the find Washington as a city in 4000 BC, but youve learned to live with it.

I still find it funny that you find an ancient American civ. But I think a Vatican City would be more out of place, because its not a representative of a real group of people but of a political order at a certain point in time.
But we can have civilizations that did not come around till the 1700's.
It is pointless debate on either side. Again if the game had any real details about how civilizations formed would could have a better discussion on the issue.
The only thing that seems to matter is to have some "Sexy Action City States".
My friend but Civilization like I said is not an accurate historical game. If you want one play Age of Empires or Europa Universalis III.
Not completely pointless. The game could be more realistic than it is, but even as it is, the designers could make choices that just feel silly .
Bogota has nothing to do with the Incans so why shoulnd't it be included. Also for Africa I belive Great Zimbabawe could be a city-state. Others could be Ceuta - an important trading center on the North of Africa that was conquered by the Portuguese in 1415 and later wrestled by the Spainish. Oran - in modern Algiers. Rabat - In Morrocco, Tunis and Zanzibar.
So what is Vatican City supposed to be in the game, a religious city with a Pope? What is it supposed to represent?
Why don't we just put in Sealand
And what is the problem of Sealand? It coulkd be a good city-state. Just make sure Dale is the leader.
Vatican City, historically, played exactly the role that City States are supposed to play in 5 - it played larger civs off against one another and took their money.

The Vatican today still has less than a thousand residents, its just an administrative center, nothing more.
