How do you guys determine the income of specific cities (where do you get GDP values from, and what type of GDP is it)?

GDP values are mostly from Wikipedia. We used the 'nominal' GDP.

We only took GDP values for countries. City income is determined by the proportion of its population to the total population of the country.

Now, what do you mean by that? What's an Urban population vs Administrative city population? Does it affect economy, or is it because of their government type in the real world? I am clueless. I looked up administrative city, but really didn't get much or anything.

Oh I never know there actually was a formula for determining an income for the countries, I thought you gave countries values kinda relative to their GDP, but also added balance in to make the difference not debilitating. Cool.
