Once again, as shown in the previous countries, the Rank Size Rule doesn't work. The estimations are too high this time instead of being lower such the others on the website. The estimate for Chattagam is lager by 2 million than the actuall population of 4184328, which is quite a large difference. Same goes for the rest. Narayanganj, Khulka, and Gazipur as their actual populations are much smaller than the estimates made by the Rank Size Rule therefore proving the Rule invaild.
