Concept
This city-state mod aims for flexibility and diversity. It currently features a wide range of new 
city-states, from historical city-states, over small nations to ethnic groups, from Europe, over the Middle East to the Pacific Ocean. All can be removed as simple as deleting their XML file.
Next to the additions, some vanilla city-states have been altered to better reflect their identity. These are the so called 
'Capital' city-states (f.e. Budapest, Copenhagen or Almaty), 'city-states' with no identity separate from the country they represent. These city-states still show the same on the map (i.e. with their city names), but are otherwise referred to by their respective countries' names. (For example the 3 previously mentioned city-states are referred to as Hungary, Denmark and Kazakhstan respectively.) In later versions I intent to make these into city-states with extended functionality, true 'minor civs' as it were.
Features
- Modular design
Each city-state has its own XML file and has no other files depending on it, so deleting a city-state, either for personal preferences or to make it compatible with another mod also adding that particular city-state is super easy. Just delete for example Bahrain.xml under \Documents\My Games\Sid Meier’s Civilization 5\MODS\Not Another City States Mod\NewCityStates and the Bahrain civilization is removed from the game.
- 26 new city-states
Bringing the total to 54 : 18 
cultured, 18 
maritime, 18 
militaristic.
- 'Capital' city-states
All vanilla city-states that are/were not actually city-states or otherwise reasonably autonomous entities, but ‘mere’ capitals, are renamed after their respective countries.
They still own the city with the original city-state name, but are otherwise referred to by their country's name. They also have their flag showing on the Diplo popup.

- Compatibility.sql
This file checks for the presence of certain DLC (and mod) civs and adapts the availability of certain city-states accordingly.

- Language support (at least partly) for German, French, Spanish and Italian.
- Civilopedia entries for the new city-states.
- New city-state types, each giving new bonuses when they are befriended or allied:
Productive city-states, giving a bonus to production in your cities
Mercantile city-states, giving a certain amount of gold per turn
Scientific city-states, giving a certain amount of science per turn- maybe city-states providing
happiness and 
great person progress as well
- The possibility to interact with city-states as you can with major civilizations, mainly trading and diplomatic actions, possibly providing a small amount of
influence per interaction.
Recommended Mods
Here is a list of city-state related mods I recommend:
- Thal's Balance Mods by Thalassicus:
Balances the usefulness of cultural, maritime and military city-states amongst many other things.
- City State Diplomacy Mod by Gazebo:
Overhauls how you gain influence with city-states by introducing diplomat units into the game.
- Mercenaries by Gedemon:
Gives you the option to hire 'mercenary' troops from city-states.
- City State UU by Gedemon:
Gives unique units to the militaristic city-states found in the vanilla version and two of his mods (Yahem and Yagem). (Yes, what will be in this mod in the future.)
- City State Leaders by mihaifx:
Adds leader icons to the city-state diplo popup. This will conflict with the flag icons this mod adds. (I don't know which one will show up.)
- Extra City States by Garett20:
Adds 28 new city-states to the game. (Note: there is some overlap with my mod, so you might have to delete some of mine.)
- City States of the World by Opera:
Adds another 17 city-states to the game. (Note: there is overlap with mine as well as Garett’s mod.)
Also check out my other mod:
- Garrison Training:
Units garrisoned in a city can gain XP. A mechanic to get experienced (strong) units even when you aren't the warring type.
