It looks like Giblot city was restored to full population right after Giblot (realm) died. Kind of unfair, that Giblot's true owners had to suffer with only 3,000 population, but now the new owners get a full 25,000 population. It's all because of that population rebalance thing, which I don't even understand...
I think all the regions were reset to full population when they rolled back the second population adjustment.
