True, and citypopulation.de does list it as a separate "urban area" with a population of 1763336. If the quiz is going to count "agglomerations" rather than "urban areas", it should say so.

I mean, if Scotland weren't part of the UK, it would be odd for them to have had a referendum on independence from the UK in 2014 (which was unsuccessful).

I always think of Murmansk as a major city. Its the largest arctic city in the world, but at less than 400K people I guess it isn't big enough.
