Looking for countries where the capital is the clear second city after the main economic and population center.
Ankara for Turkey, with a severe 10 million person drop off from Istanbul, and then another 2 million to the third largest city.
Maybe Vietnam. Hanoi is close population wise (or larger by some measures), but Ho Chi Minh is the clear economic center.
Abuja, Nigeria was one that first came to mind, but it looks the 2-4 largest cities are close population wise.
