In dom1 the richness of a province was a function of the pixels in the province, thus you could theoretically have enormous provinces with pop and income only limited by the size of the .tga. In dom 2 a large farmland province will have around 20000 pop (+- a couple of thousand), so without setting the pop higher in the map file there is no way you can have provinces of the same pop sizes you did in dom 1, but if you do want higher pop sizes you can allways play around with the map file.
