We investigate structural properties of the resulting city and country networks and present rankings of the most central nodes in these networks. We identify different country clusters and find that the practice of sister city pairing is not influenced by geographical proximity but results in highly assortative networks. %G English %Z TC 6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01291512/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01291512/file/978-3-642-54140-7_14_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01291512 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01291512 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8221 %~ CAMPUS-AAR %~ AAI
