The Greek city-state Dionysus was similar to Athens in many ways. The city-state traded a lot with other Greeks and Empires, Dionysus did not have a emphasis on military, and had a similar government system which involved some voting.
First of all, Dionysus did a lot of tradeing with other Greek city-states, mostly Polikasta and Killis, and would often trade with other non-Greeks in northern Macedonia even though they considered them as lesser peoples.
This is something Athens did as well on a much larger scale tradeing olive oil and pottery all throughout the Mediterranean. The Polis of Dionysus was also similar to Athens in their miltary strength.
Dionysus had a very small military by Greek standards and any other empires for that matter due to their small population. The Army had only about 20,000 men at a maximum. Athens had a very large military and navy ,but they didn't use it as much as say Sparta. The Dionysus army was only really used for defence against other greek city-states.
One last comparison to Athens is Dionysus's government. This government which involved some voting of the major families, which is similar to Athens Democracy. The government in Athens had everyone of its citizen voters have a say in what went on in the government. In fact, Athens did have an oligarchy for a short amount of time before they changed it because the rich became to powerful.
In conclusion the Polis of Dionysus was very much like Athens in the way of its interaction with other people, its pacifistic nature, and its multivoiced government.
