Eliacmeans was located in a semi-remote area. City-states in the surrounding area were not too far away, yet not too close. As a result, Eliacmeans was not threated to move their city-state as much as it could be if it was closer to other competing
city-states. Also, trading with the other states was strong. The people of Eliacmeans usually tried to have strong relationships with others to ensure the other city-states would always be good business and profit for them. They respected each city-state and never tried to make a reason to start a fight. Eliacmeans, afterall, was more defensive so they never looked to find a brawl. If a fight did occur though, the military was strong enough to defend themselves. To the south, Athens and Delphi greatly supported Eliacmeans economically, for their land would not provide them with precious materials such as marble, silver, and olives. Due to its location on the coast, Eliacmeans could send a fleet of boats to trade with other city-states further away, such as places located on islands, like the city-state Crete was. Eliacmeans did not only export goods, they imported them as well. Places in Asia Minor provided a wide variety of materials, including gold, iron, and plentiful timber that was not present in Eliacmeans that Eliacmeans could trade with to improve their city-state.
