A primate city is a major city that works as the financial, political, and population center of a country and is not rivaled in any of these aspects by any other city in that country. Normally, a primate city must be at least twice as populous as the second largest city in the country. The presence of a primate city in a country usually indicates an imbalance in development — usually a progressive core, and a lagging periphery, on which the primate city depends for labor and other resources.[1] Not all countries have primate cities (Germany, India, and the People's Republic of China for example), but in those that do, the rest of the country depends on it for cultural, economic, political, and major transportation needs. Among the best known examples of primate cities are alpha world cities of London and Paris. Other major primate cities include Seoul, Mexico City, Vienna, Cairo, Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Tehran, Baghdad, and Athens. “World city” redirects here. ...

Some examples of nations without a primate city would include India, with the four main cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai; Brazil, whose capital and political centre, Brasilia, is dwarfed in size and culture by both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro; Italy, whose political seat at Rome is balanced by its business, financial and fashion "capital" of Milan; Australia, which has many large cities including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, while the political centre resides in the smaller city of Canberra; and the United States, whose financial and cultural centres are widely dispersed throughout the country in cities such as New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles and whose political centre is located in Washington, D.C. Germany's political center is Berlin, though its financial center is Frankfurt and cultural center split between Berlin, Munich, Dresden and smaller cities.

Armagh (4191 words)
Primate Patrick O'Scanlan (1261-70), also a Dominican, rebuilt to a large extent the cathedral of Armagh and founded a house for Franciscans in that city.
Primate Nicholas Mac Maelisu (1272-1302) signalized himself by convening an important assembly of the bishops and clergy of Ireland at Tuam in 1291, at which they bound themselves by solemn oaths to resist the encroachments of the secular power.
During the English period, the primates rarely visited the city of Armagh, preferring to reside at the arch-episcopal manors of Dromiskin and Termonfechan, in the county of Louth which was within the Pale.
Primate - MSN Encarta (1503 words)
Primate, order of mammals that includes humans, apes, which are the closest living relatives to humans, monkeys, and some less familiar mammals, such as tarsiers, lorises, and lemurs.
Primates live in a wide range of habitats but are restricted by their need for warmth.
Some primates, particularly gibbons and the siamang, use this ability to move through the trees from one branch to another by swinging from arm to arm.
