1 Most of the county lies between the River Shannon and its major tributary, the River Suck. Athlone on the Shannon is the main point of entry to the county; north of it lies Lough (Lake) Ree and, farther upstream, Loughs Bofin and Boderg. 2  The area is greatly dependent on agriculture, though there is some light industry.
Polis (/ Ë p É l Éª s /; Greek: ÏÏÎ»Î¹Ï pronounced ), plural poleis (/ Ë p É l eÉª z /, ÏÏÎ»ÎµÎ¹Ï), literally means city in Greek. It can also mean a body of citizens. In modern historiography, polis is normally used to indicate the ancient Greek city-states, like Classical Athens and its contemporaries, and thus is often translated as city-state.
