The rank size rule states that the second-largest city is one-half the size of the largest city, the third-largest city is one-third the size of the largest city, the fourth is one-fourth the size, etc. In regards to Croatia's top five cities and their populations, the rank-size rule is invalidated because the predicted numbers do not accurately predict the actual population.
