This is quite cool, but I see nothing on how the choice of cities to include was done?
In my case my city isn't included, and the nearest city that is, is over 100km away on the other side of a mountain. The next one is about 500km away.
I also see plenty of smaller cities here in Norway than mine that are included, so this makes me think the selection of cities was probably made based on largest city within x radius. Would be neat to know how these selections were made.
You should reach to them and ask to add your city if interested:
Oh yeah I could, I was more just interested in knowing if there was an automated selection process or something. Purely out of curiosity.
I think the article kind of touch on it but just state in the lines of "to start a new country I get a list of big cities".
