What's your excuse for not having a primate city?

Don't forget New Orleans and Baltimore.

All eggs in one basket isn't a good idea.

Canada is kind of big, so there's multiple large cities.

The bigger the country, the less likely it is to have a primate city. Argentina is the biggest country to have on, and it's only the 8th biggest.

Maybe if Americans didn't burn down Toronto, it would be the capital and without Ottawa be a primate city.

How the fuck Brazil doesn't have a primate city? What about São Paulo? It's basically the New York of the Southern Hemisphere.

Rio e Recife recentemente

Every gray country has their own version of Detroit

It's not twice as big as Rio, and nether are the capital.

I heard that Sao Paulo is the hq for Brazilian companies, but that international companies put their hq in Rio.

>>50999584
Nevermind, according to Wikipedia:
>A primate city is a major city that works as the financial, political, and population center of a country and is not rivaled in any of these aspects by any other city in that country. Normally, a primate city must be at least twice as populous as the second largest city in the country.
Then indeed, São Paulo is not a primate city.

>Bangkok has been called "the most primate city on earth", being forty times larger than Thailand's second city.
Holy shite.

Not really, no. They're almost evenly split, maybe 60-40, tending towards São Paulo.

But why would you want that?

>>50999676
I'm disappointed to learn that a primate city is not just a city inhabited by monkeys and apes.

North Montreal is pretty primate.

Doesn't Vietnam have Hanoi and Saigon/Ho chi Minh though?
>>
>>50999401

>Russia

Why ?

Japan not having one with Tokyo surprises me though
>>
>>50999740
Hanoi is tiny compared to Saigon, mang.

>>50999768
Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe metropolis
>>
>>50999741
Medellin
St. Peterburg
>>
>>50999785
Osaka's too big, true

I share your disappointment.
I was hoping for something like Gorilla City in the comic books.
>>
>>50999788
Medelln is 3M and Bogota 8M so it's a 2.6 relation, is this not enough ?
Same for St.Petersbourg and Moscou, St. P. is 3 times more little.

Thanks, we're pretty proud of it.

So proud that if the rest of the country votes a certain way in an election contrary to how we vote (and wins), we simply annul the election.
>>
>>50999741
Russia has Sankt Petersburg as another center.
And Medellín is probably more important than it seems.
>>50999768
The other cities of the Taiheiyō Belt are also pretty important.
>>
>>50999900
you're right

>>50999900
Size is not the only factor.

Hanoi → capital
Ho Chi Minh → center of economy
Vietnam → RED

>>50999489
You're right.

>>50999921
We have Craiova.

>>50999401
How is Turkey grey? I'd assume that Istanbul and Ankara must rival each other in some of the aspects listed in >>50999676
>>
>>50999401
Why are we gray?
Literally half of the population lives in Athens. Also the next bigger """"""""""""""""""""""city""""""""""""""""""""" isn't even 1 million people.

>>50999401

The coloration is giving me an aneurysm.

>>50999401
It doesn't really sound desirable 2bh, I don't feel the need to make an excuse for not having one.

>>50999401
Worried that the South Island would become a seperate entity if the Capital was too far away
