Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjk55wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndependentCountry</a> is a distinct, independent geopolitical entity generally recognized by the international community. An independent country typically has a relatively stable government, enforced borders, its own currency, laws, and culture. Examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVikKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UnitedStatesOfAmerica</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj4PJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Germany</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViH_pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Liberia</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvZUBd5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mongolia</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj7XJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">India</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVigv5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Taiwan_RepublicOfChina</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViUSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Honduras</a>. IndependentCountry City city <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjnZ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">City</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjl2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a> whose territory is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjK7JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UrbanArea</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjnZ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">City</a> is a local organization of a human settlement which has its own government. This includes cities, towns, suburbs, villages, hamlets, and townships, as long as they have their own governments. A city government is usually mostly autonomous from the governments of its surrounding regions, rather than being a sub-organization of them. non-overlapping geopolitical entity GeopoliticalEntityTypeByNonOverlappingJurisdiction A collection of collections. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rPJJhlM0SQdeDhsNnnhQekw" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntityTypeByNonOverlappingJurisdiction</a> are subcollections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjl2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a> members of which have jurisdictions that do not overlap. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString city state CityState The collection of geopolitical entities that are cities and states.
