-- Sloot,
- In my o'wheening ignorance I'd thought that in today's world there are only a couple of City-states; but your query persuaded me to trawl-through seach-engine Google for verification.
- Amongst contributors to Google there's some uncertainty about the precise def'n. of a sovereign City-state, so it's with some dubiosity that I post the flg. and possibly initial list -
A. DHABI, ANDORRA, BAHREIN, DOHA, DUBAI, KUWAIT, LIECHTENSTEIN, MONACO, QATAR, S'PORE., VATICAN CITY.

-- There are also some City-states that are non-sovereign, amongst sch. may be incl. -
BASEL, BERLIN, B. AIRES, CEUTA, GENEVA, GIBRALTAR, HAMBURG, H. KONG, CITY OF LONDON, MACAU, MELILLA, WASHINGTON, DC..

-- The two foregoing lists may not be complete, up-to-date or even accurate - AYOR.!

-- But to answer your specific query, quite by chance - as one writes - the Weekend Financial Times'crossword #12,902., (w/e. 18/19 oct.), provides the answer in one of its clues -
- Nation getting aggrieved orbiting in space (9),.
- The correct answer is provided above.
- In another thread I wrote that I could be trying if I tried! How true - ha! Just joking
