How did geographic location affect politics in ancient Greece?

The similarities in terrain united the Greek city-states and enabled them to create a uniform political structure.
Mountains, hills, and seas separated the Greek city-states, and as a result they had diverse political structures.
Their geographic location made the Greek city-states vulnerable to attack, and they had to set up a unified political structure.
Plateaus, plains, and rivers separated the Greek city-states, so forming a unified political structure was important.

Answer 1

Greece is definitely a mountainous region, I think because the cities emerged independent from their neighbors it's possible that they had different political structures.

Check this out:

"Greece is a very mountain region, with only small pockets of land suitable for city-building and the associated city-supporting agriculture. This meant that cities that emerged in the 7th and 8th century BC grew up independently of their neighbors. Thus, unlike the great civilizations of the Middle East (Persia, Babylon), Greek civilization in the classical period grew up as independent "polis" city-states. Although culturally similar (and we refer to them all as "Greeks" as a consequence), Ancient Greeks of this classical period would have identified themselves as Athenians or Spartans, not primarily as Greeks."
