Sort of like playing a slot machine, and I got lucky. On my 2nd try I got Germany, Canada, India, and Morocco, which is about as good as it'll get for me.

Excellent quiz! The maps surely highlight this one.

Just a comment, though. There seems to not be a consensual way to list the cities. I mean, while China has its cities listed by city proper, Mexico has its cities listed by metro area.

Level 88
Aug 23, 2020
Yeah, I got Shenzhen and Canton which citypopulation.de naturally always lumps together in an urban area. No Chungking though if it is going by municipal population.
+2
Level 47
Aug 27, 2020
No, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is not always lumped together, as I used this Part of the citypopulation.de website which says it's urban area. And where they are not lumped together. So yeah China is in Urban area in this quiz too

Why is the circle for Guangzhou so small? It would appear to be smaller than Beijing and Shanghai.

Aug 27, 2020
Shenzhen, Guangzhou and a lot of other cities are not lumped together in this quiz so Guangzhou is only at 3rd

Why city proper for China?

Also the numbers for the United States seem off. Washington should be fourth for urban area. Edit: I found the page you used, it’s not Combined Statistical Area.
+1
Level 47
Sep 7, 2020
1. No I did not use City Proper for China, citypopulation.de this is the website I used which states that it's both Urban Area and in this order

2. I don't know what you're talking about that you found the page I used, I said in the description that I used citypopulation.de and here it says this order, it might be from 2010 but I didn't want to be inconsistent with what pages I used so I ended up using a little outdated version

This is the page that is consistent with what Quizmaster uses. This page is the same but for the whole world.

Why does Morocco exclude western sahara?

Level 47
Sep 1, 2020
Not every map includes Western Sahara as a part of Morocco, So I decided not to either.

But Western Saharan cities wouldn't have made the quiz anyways.

I'm glad you didn't! No country recognises Morocco's annexation of Western Sahara.

Could you possibly accept Mansoura for El Mansoura (Egypt)? The definite articles are not always written when transliterating Arabic place names and I didn't think of writing it that way. Egyptian here, by the way :)

in Nigeria the name of the city, even in English is PORTO HARCOURT and not Port Harcourt

The cities for the US are partially wrong, for Houston definitely being number 4 in population, not Philadelphia or Miami. I dont know which the fifth one would be tho

Level 60
Sep 10, 2020
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't Rawalpindi-Islamabad one urban area? Or does it take into account the provincial boundary? Because Islamabad and Rawalpindi are usually taken as one constituent urban area.
