Largest cities in the country: Bishkek, Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, and Tokmok
Population of largest city: 900,000
Estimated size of each of the next four largest cities: 450,000, 300,000, 225000, 180000
Actual populations of 2nd, 3rd ,4th, 5th largest cities : 900,000, 200,000, 75,700, 70,171, and 63,047
I feel that the rank size size rule does not apply because the pattern of 1,1/2,1/3,1/4, and 1/5 clearly does not follow
