Malta does not follow the rank-size rule because the population of Birkirkara, the biggest city, is 22,111 and the second largest city has a population of 21,046 people. The rank-size rule states that the second largest city is half the population of the first, the third is 1/3 the size of the largest and so on. The populations of the other large cities follow each other very closely, not proportionately.
