Details and caveats:

By city proper when possible, according to citypopulation.de. Wikipedia, WorldAtlas, and GeoNames are backup sources

Some countries don't have cities, just municipalities. In those cases, we go by the municipality population.

When no reliable source has a sufficient number of cities listed, any city listed by the source will work

Because of lack of good data, Costa Rica, Fiji, and South Africa are by urban area

Nice mix of tricky ones with a few not so. Please can you accept type-ins for Congo? I tried several options without finding the right one.
