Population Gap 1st - 2nd Biggest Cities

Guess which countries have the biggest gap in population between their 1st and 2nd biggest city, by absolute and proportional difference. Data sourced mainly from Worldometer, Wikipedia, and census data.
Data is not perfectly accurate as there's no consistent measurement for a city populations, I did my best gathering the data. Many answers are likely interchangeable with countries off the list.
Countries must have at least 2 cities to be eligible
