By Sachka: It is simply to avoid ex aequo (15/15). And also because in my mind, the sunken island is very important, and deserve the max amount of VP. Don't forget that it is in the water, and that you can't play a sea-nation. (btw, it's very easy to modify this the way you like in the map file)

Since all the other provinces are worth 2, there is no possibility of anyone getting 15 unless they have the sunken city. Essentially, since there are no 1 point or 3 point provinces, the sunken city is worth 6 points if the total required victory points is even (which it is), or 8 points if the total required number is odd (which it is not).
The only way an odd number of victory points matters is if there are more than one odd numbered victory point province.
My personal suggestion would be to make all the home provinces worth 1 VP and then play to an appropriately larger number of VPs.
