"Chicago, the metropolis of the Midwest, is my favorite city to visit."

Reason: "Metropolis" means a large, principal city. The other sentences misuse it — a suburb isn't a metropolis, a metropolis can't sensibly "rule over the city" in that phrasing, and "mother country" is not a correct meaning here.
