Nice quiz, liked this and the others of the serie a lot!

But what about Edinburgh of the seven seas? If you count Jamestown, which has 625 inhabitants (acc. to wikipedia) as a city, i think you could accept Edinburgh with 245 as well

Thanks! I try to use urban area population, instead of cities proper, in this series limited to urban population over 1000. According to wikipedia, the urban population of Jamestown also includes the population of Half Tree Hollow, and together the whole population is 1614.
