Say The nations of Thaliost which is made up of the city-states of Fairhaven, Passage, Lathleer and Thaliost. with Thaliost as the lead city-state. The ctiy-stats would fight each other but would team up if say the city states of Daskaran would attack them. what i am ask is do you think this is real how the nations worked.

That should give you at least a starting point in the official lore. I would argue that the early nations were actually city-states that became the capitals of proto-nations, but still possessed central control over the other towns and city-states in their area of influence. Think of theearly Five Nations as similar to the American colonies in the 17th century, you get one major settlement, say Boston, from which other setttlers slowly branch out and found other settlements and towns, but they are all still loyal to the entire Massachusetts Bay Colony. Likewise, after founding say Korth, the human colonists of Khorvaire moved on to found Atur and Karlakkton, but still retained overall loyalty to the Karrnath nation.
