What makes a fantasy city?

That was my third possibility, but I couldn't think of a way to word it.  
Adrilankha (of the Vlad Taltos books) is something like that, too, though in a 
less, um, surreal way.  Or maybe it's that it's less British, I dunno.

A medium-sized city, I think.  If player-characters offend someone, they 
shouldn't have to leave town to stay out of the offendee's sight.  That'd be too 
hard on the gamemaster, for one thing.
