Only when ranked by population.
Geographic features (rather than man made ones) occur at a density
largely independent of population. While cities will have more man
made objects it appears in many cases that is not enough to make up
the difference (this is why on a global scale Antarctica appears over
represented. All the mountains see).
I suspect that User:Morwen has quite a lot to do with it: systematically
creating articles for parishes is going to "populate" say Lincolnshire
rather well.
