Almost, except that cities are utterly dependent on "the interior and rural districts" for food.
- TomMarius 9y agoWell, my whole country depends on other countries for food...
- anigbrowl 9y agoNo they're not. They can grow their own (and have in times of previous crisis) and most large cities are built around ports. Also, when was the last time a rural population laid siege to a city and starved it? Hundreds of years ago. Honestly, I don't understand the fantasy world people like you live in. You seem to assume that people who live in cities are helpless kittens or something.
