Population of largest city: 8.432 million
Estimated size of each of the next four largest cities: 4216000, 2810666, 2108000, and 168640
Actual populations of 2nd, 3rd ,4th, 5th largest cities : 3.014 million, 1.88 million, 1.807 million, 1.661 million, and 1.572 million
I feel that the rank size size rule does not apply because there seems two very large cities that do not follow the rule at all, and most of the other cities seem to not follow the rule either. The estimated and actual were no where close to be the same.
