rank: |
Countries, states and the most important cities all have a `rank` to boost their importance on the map.
The `rank` field for counries and states ranges from `1` to `6` while the `rank` field for
cities ranges from `1` to `10`. Use the `rank` field to build a text hierarchy.
cities ranges from `1` to `10` for the most important cities and continues from `10` serially based
on the local importance of the city (derived from population and city class).
Use the `rank` field to build a text hierarchy.
The rank value is a combination of the Natural Earth `scalerank`, `labelrank` and `datarank` values for countries
and states and a shifted Natural Earth `scalerank` for cities.
and states and for cities consists out of a shifted Natural Earth `scalerank` combined with a local rank
within a grid for cities that do not have a Natural Earth `scalerank`.
