Nice quiz. I've got the feeling that Libreville belongs in this list though. City Population only has data from 1993: 419,596 - but Gabon only had about 1,050,000 back then.

Thanks for catching the old data. The list has been updated to reflect 2007 numbers with UN data.

You should accept alternate spellings for Ulan Bator (i.e. Ulaanbaatar)

Thanks, schnoxl. I had some alternate spellings but not the one you suggested. I've added it plus a couple others.

@ZOstiller: World Urbanization Prospects has Amman at 22.96% of Jordan's population. I'll add it to the "extras" in case others have the same question.
