Really frustrating that you must explicitly type "The Ruhr" to get that point rather than being able to just name one of the major cities in that area. I wasted a LOT of time typing different major cities in that area for no reason it would seem.

Kuwait City = 6th in Kuwait, pop. 60,064

Muscat = 20th in Oman, pop. 20,272

The Ruhr is a large urban area, made of smaller cities and towns. It works the same as "London", where the City is 9,000 people and the urban with many other cities and towns is 9M.

Comparing it to California is kind of stupid, since California is not just one big urban area.

I'd recommend taking a second look at some things - Cologne and Dusseldorf in Germany are both part of The Ruhr, so it doesn't really make sense to list them twice.
