Validity of the Rank Size Rule
The Rank Size Rule cannot be applied to the country of Gabon. Comparing the estimation to the actual population of each city, there is a large difference. The majority of the people inhabit Libreville, then a few sparse amounts of people exist in the other cities. This is more likely because that is the region of most business and activities (and also the capital). Due to these reasons, the Rank Size Rule is not valid.
