If I was to start a new city state I would call it Atheta a mix of Athens and Sparta to show it's military skill and architectural design skill. I would use a Democracy because I think rule of the people ,men and women, is the way to go. I would have strict laws but with reasonable punishment and the people not including the person getting punished will vote on if he/she should get punished. The reason the people would vote is so if some people think he/she is guilty they could have their opinion on it.
The Greek Democracy was a radial (big change) departure from the Greek Monarchy because with the monarchy it was one ruler with ABSOLUTE power and the throne was passed down from King to his son, if he had no son it was inherited by a close cousin. But in a democracy the power was in the hands of the citizens and problems were voted on, anybody over the age of 18 was a man was born in that city state and is not a slave is qualified as a valid citizen to vote
The webpage that I found that talks about Greek democracy is http://www.ancient.eu/Athenian_Democracy/
The creation of democracy by the Greeks has influenced our modern day government by giving us the foundation of our modern day democracy and also showing us what won't work to save us some time.
