In order to make this quiz easier to update in the future, I've started using whatever population total that citypopulation.de reports for each country as of the April 2025 update. In most cases this is for city proper (or it isn't specified and I'm assuming its city proper). However in some cases they report urban areas or urban agglomerations.

Also, in some cases citypopulation.de does not report population totals for at least 5 cities, in which case I used www.geonames.org as a source. Unfortunately they do not specify if they use city proper populations or urban areas.

Great quiz, a lot of effort must have gone into this!

Though I'm not entirely certain that La Matanza, Argentina, should be on this list.
