isopolity
Equal rights of citizenship in different communities; mutual political rights.

Isopolity...was a relation entered into by treaty between two perfectly equal and independent cities, mutually securing to their citizens all those privileges which a resident alien either could not exercise at all, or only through the mediation of a guardian; the right of intermarriage, of purchasing landed property, of making contracts of every kind, of suing and being sued in person, of being exempted from imposts [taxes] where citizens were so; and also of partaking in sacrifices and festivals.
