Sympoliteia
, which refers to those who share the same citizenship, can take different forms: it can refer to co‐citizenship, the citizens of the same city‐state or
polis
, or the establishment of a political community made up of more than one city‐state, a federal state, which can be independent or included in another
sympoliteia
or form part of a monarchy. The term can also refer to the unification of one state with another, without the former being entirely absorbed by the latter. Ultimately, a
sympoliteia
establishes or modifies citizenship rights.
