The calculations between the actual urban population within Moldova's cities compared to the Rank Size Rule's estimates are largely off, there is a general rate of decrease from 1st to 2nd to 3rd, etc largest cities for the Rank Size Estimate, however the actual population is not even close which reduces the validity, if any to the Rank Size Rule.
