The rank size rule doesn't prove true in Cuba. All of the estimated populations were extremely off. For example, Santiago de Cuba was estimated to have over a million people, but its actual population is under 500,000. The rank rule size for the other cities proved to be several hundreds of thousands off the actual population. This proves how the rank size rule doesn't always apply to every country.
