Germany well demonstrates the rank-size rule in reality as the rank-size estimations show little discrepancy from the actual population. The estimations for Hamburg and Frankfurt are off by less than 100,000 indicating high accuracy. Munich is the greatest outlier at an over 200,000 person difference, but the other top five cities remain fairly accurate to the rank-size rule.
