Newb question: Low resources in capitol

[Thrawn]

Fate: I have Sloth 3, but I have used this pretender many times with Arcoscephale, and not had this problem.

I don't remember being hit with popultion lowering incidents. I have 30,150 in my capitol. Is that low? My unrest is 0 in my cap, and in all surrounding provs.

vfb: I DID build a castle in a neighboring province, and thought that might be the problem, so I demolished it. But, it didn't have any effect.

Ich: I have five candles in the cap and surrounding provs.

I also see that the surrounding provs have less than 10 resources each. Maybe that's the problem? But, I swear I was once able to recruit with more resources in my cap.
