If by city-state you are referring to a single urban center that is self-governing, I can think of two examples. The first is Washington DC, which is mostly self-governing but is overseen by the US Congress. A more classic example is the Vatican or Holy See in Italy, where the city boundaries and the country boundaries are the same. I believe the Holy See is the smallest country in the world.
