Guatemala does not exactly follow the rank-size rule. Guatemala City has a population of 1,110,100 and Mixco has a population of 473,080 people, so that is pretty close to the rank-size rule but Guatemala doesn't follow it because the third largest city, Villa Nueva, has a population of 406,830 people and that is not 1/3 of the largest population. To support that even more, the fourth largest city, Petapa, has a population of 141,255 and that is not close to the estimated population of 277,525.
