Hib seems to be the lowest population lately.
This is pretty much how it goes: Hibs get bored, we go take a port in Alb. They don't care, they let us do it. Port opens, Hibs flock to Alb, 5 minutes later Alb zerg takes back a tower without resistance, then they go and farm everybody else in the keep we just took. We try to take back port but they don't us. Then Mid gets bored and goes to take Crim, Hibs can't do anything about it, Albs take Bolg. Mids and Albs farm hibs all night, then they log, a few groups of Hibs stay up making a few RPs claiming back all their towers.
I don't remember the last time Hib had more than 1 relic.
Anyways its not just that they are that underpopulated, but also the lack of people willing to run a BG.
However, this is only the zerg warfare and really doesn't matter that much. I get extremely bored running in these zergs, and yes its possible to avoid them and find 8 man fights, though you'll get run over by zergs and mini zergs once in a while. Props to those RR12 groups in Mid that refuse to run around with just 8, and roll over 8 mans with 16. They even have the second group trail behind by about 20 seconds so it looks as if we're just gonna hit by 1 group, and then instantly get ass jammed by another group of RR10+.
