Rank Size Rule Validity
In the case of Cape Verde, the Rank Size Rule is invalid. Even though the estimated population of the second city is fairly close to the actual population, the Rank Size Rule population begins to skew from the actual population of the top cities, and ends up with a large difference of population with the fifth city.
