List of largest cities in Zhenia

This list ranks the largest cities in Zhenia by population. This list specifically ranks all cities that are special cities, metropolitan municipalities, independent cities or municipalities within prefectures as defined by Zhenia's administrative division system, although the page in particular only lists cities with a population of over 1 million at the prefectural level. Thus, the list does not include any independent cities, prefectures or municipalities with a population of between 60,000 - the minimal threshold for an administrative subdivision to be categorized as a municipality - and a prefectural total population of under 1 million. As of 1610 AC, Zhenia has as a total of 71 cities and municipalities satisfying such requirements, with the population of the 71 cities combined totaling up to 281 million, or around 47.5% of the nation's population.

Definition and classification
The list below concerns the population of those living within the - in other words, within the city's administrative boundaries - rather than the city's metropolitan population. As a result, most satellite cities that are part of large metropolitan areas, most notably in the Greater Capital Area and the Taimir Delta Megalopolis, are also included in the list. In the case of other cities, however, the definition of the list's calculation involves the city's urban core and surrounding suburban areas, while the list expands to include select parts of the prefecture as well.
