That population boost may have been trying to make up for the pathetic chances a rebellion has in SE4.
well, i didn't think about demanding their surrender, not until after my attempt to capture one of the planets failed...
i think everytime a new empire is created, it gets the maximum pop it can hold, regardless how much it already has.
When you start a game, everything goes well, because all the planets are empty and the population fits.
But when a new empire is formed after a rebellion, the planet already has some population, and the new pop. is just added.
