Oh also some funny population quirks:
Somehow a random province was totally spared from the great pestilence, and it's now by far my most populated province - literally twice my capital.
There's a single rural province which has been the source of basically all of my colony population and it's now totally depopulated. For a while it could barely maintain its own population but for a couple of years now it's gradually been going down.

I think I should probably be expanding all of the food RGOs in the north to just grow the population explosively, but it's already painful enough embracing estates as it is. I don't want to imagine how much worse it will be when the north actually has enough people to represent a substantial fraction of the country
