The third city of a country is the city that is thought to be the third-most important, usually after the capital or first city, and second city, according to some criteria such as population size, economic or commercial importance, political importance or some cultural sense. There is no official mechanism by which third city status is conferred on a city, rather, it is a description which is unofficial carrying no authority, and arguments often take place between citizens and civic leaders of rival cities making conflicting claims.
