We do something similar, some remote towns have been classified as
cities to make them render sooner not due to populations, but due to
importance to the regional importance to areas, although some of these
places call themselves cities, but that's more ego than anything. I
was at one point going to suggest place=regional_centre instead of
using place=city but that was more or less when I started and never
got back to it.
