Started with nation GDP and scaled the populations of most populous city per nation. Real wage rate (RWR) is derived from GDP. To sort the cities, I use a simple purchasing power ranking equal to population times RWR. The number of industrial ports are based on manufacturing output, and consumer ports based on the remainder of total (import + export) trade.

3.8% Paris 500,000 32 2 0- Shanghai has a bastion of customers for all your selling needs.
- New York City has the highest wage.
- Tokyo's industrial imports should help kick off the #3 manufacturer.
- Berlin has a lot of consumer goods ports, but not much of a population. Its industrial port could be significant.
- Sao Paulo has the honor of having no seaports, but it's nice population should make it a fine market.
