Could've sworn Irbid was 2nd biggest in Jordan.

Both Wikipedia and Citypopulation.de list Zarqa as being bigger than Irbid.

That seems to be based on the population of the city proper for both - Irbid definitely has a much larger population for its metropolitan area, whereas I can't find a separate metro population for Zarqa. Perhaps that's the source of the confusion?

Are you sure Villa Nueva is the second biggest city in Guatemala? I have been there many many times and I haven't even heard of it. Maybe it's on the coast? Weird.
