Five largest cities:
1.) Lemesós
2.) Stróvolos
3.) Lefkosía
4.) Lárnaka
5.) Lakatámeia
Population of the largest city: 101,000
City #2: 50,500
City #3: 33,666
City #4: 25,250
City #5: 20,200
Population of City #2: 67,904
Population of City #3: 55,014
Population of City #4: 51,468
Population of City #5: 38,345
Rank-size-rule Valid or Invalid: Although the rank-size-rule strictly defines the predicted populations for the following cities smaller than the largest city, the actual population size is quite close to the predictions. With such a small population starting in the largest city (compared to other countries) it only seems logical that each smaller city decreases in a pattern similar to the rank-size-rule. However, Lárnaka breaks the pattern with being about the same size as Lefkosía which creates the fact that the rank-size-rule is mostly invalid in Cyprus's case.
