As some letters are much more frequently used than others, it's no surprise that there are very few names of countries and cities (and people, etc.) beginning with F, Q or Z. But why initial I and U are so rare in city names but not in country names (there are 8 and 7 respectively)?

Marrakesh, Morocco should be on here. Wikipedia says it has a population of 1,071,000. ...and I entered Utica, just in case it has a huge metro :/

Re: Marrakech -- The source I used lists it at @800,000. Unfortunately, the best thing I can do is pick one source and stick with it. I'm up for suggestions for a better comprehensive source.

I had never heard of Changzhou, but got it anyway. I just recombined the beginning of some cities with the end of others, and it actually worked! :)
