Based upon the populations of Greece's five largest cities using the rank size rule, I am able to conclude that the rank size rule is only partially valid for Greece and it's most populated cities. The 4th and the 5th ranked countries of Greece are closer to the actual population. However, the 2nd and the 3rd estimated populations using the rank size rule are too "off" to be considered "valid".
