What is the difference between a civilization, city-state ( polis) , country and empire?

To be a civilization, you need agriculture, bureaucracy, written language, and military strength. A city-state is an independent city with its own govt and own way of doing things, sometimes surrounded by dependent territories (not a small country, it is an independent city). A country is land controlled by a single government and does not need their land to be connected. An empire must be a civilization and you become an empire by expanding a civilization to become an empire but ONLY IF you are under a central government. A city state, civilization and country can each grow into an empire but a city state is not a country. You can have a civilization of hundreds of city states and grow into an empire BUT to be a country you are just controlled by 1 single govt vs. a city state that can have hundreds into a empire. A country can grow into an empire.
