Tell me how this is:
What are the strengths of your society?
One of the strengths is that the citizens are very devoted to their government, and willing to fight for it. Because of this, it is considered very noble to join and train in the military. Another strength is that it has very unique statues, paintings and other art forms. Another strength (but with some protest by some politicians), is that they are very socialist, in the fact that everyone must be equal with them. Women are even a little bit higher respected than men. And because of this, there are large amounts of women in the job force.
What are its weaknesses?
One of it’s major weaknesses is the fact that most of the citizens don’t trust outsiders. This means that they don’t fully trust new comers, and it is hard for them to get a job. Also the business owners who ship over seas tends to by only from nations who they have major relationships with, and there are not many of them. Another problem is that sometimes they don’t have enough food that they can grow and/or ship, so sometimes there are some minor famine incidents. Finally, although most would agree, the government isn’t strong enough on law enforcement and other public needs.
What unusual or distinctive about it?
The thing that is most distinctive about it is the fact that they take great pride in their government. Even there is free speech, if someone speaks out against it, they can find their houses vandalized. But this is only with a certain group of people. Most people would just give you the cold shoulder. Magic is present in the society, but it tends to be rare, and be a family trait. But whenever someone does seem to posses a strong magical ability, the government, to be in law enforcement or the military, generally hires them.
It is strongly independent, or is it strongly allied with another Free City (Cormenaera being the strongest)?
It is strongly independent, and will sometimes form loose allies with other governments. This, however, is generally avoided.
What are its relations with Mir and Vraa'al, its two closest non-Free City neighbors?
The relationship with Mir is one of the few countries it trustes, and will mostly trade with them. They have done this because Mir is generally a peaceful nation. The relationship with Vraa’al, however, isn’t as good. This is because most people of the city are hesitant of the strange elves.

I'd start by reviewing the game rules at

Then, think a bit about your society before trying to put any numbers on
it.
Anaduan is at 50 degrees south latitude, roughly the same as Vancouver
Canada or Paris France. It's location on the MidSea is going to mitigate
temperature extremes and make it slightly drier than those locations
however. Nevertheless, the weather is going to be moist year round.
(Sounds like good wine country.)
The cultural situation on Orasaren has always reminded me of renaissance
Italy.
The population of the Northern Free Cities averages 500,000 for each of
the marked cities. Strong cities will have more, weaker cities will have
less (but probably not more than 1 million). This is population of the
city _and_ its surrounding countryside, of course.
Some things to consider:
What are the strengths of your society?
What are its weaknesses?
What unusual or distinctive about it?
It is strongly independent, or is it strongly allied with another Free
City (Cormenaera being the strongest).
What are its relations with Mir and Vraa'al, its two closest non-Free
City neighbors?
Once you're satisfied with the above we can go through and assign some
numbers.
