I think personally that the continent is just coming off of a period of
war, and is entering a period of regrowth in 551 MR (that is the provided
starting date, right?). Apparently, a whole bunch of regional conflicts
all boiled over at around the same time, so everyone is now sitting around
licking their wounds. It also explains why so many regents die off at the
beginning of a campaign, they died in the war.
The max province ratings are low because the farming techniques used are
medieval/ early renaissance, and can't support millions upon millions of
people as easily as the chemical fertilizers of today can.
