I agree. From the games, it appears Palma is a smallish planet to begin with in size both by PS1's landmarks, but also by all 3 or 4 games showing images which depict Palm as the smaller guy.
Then, sure, the domes are small, you'd think after the heavily argued 1 or 2 thousand years which pass based on your interpretation, why wasnt there a population boom or a technological revolution, in that time?
Well, the country/realm of england (and its fellow countries of wales, scottland, ireland

Famine, disease, and war kept the populations and advancement at a standstill.
So with those circumstances thrown into a PS3 perspective, PLUS throw in BIO-MONSTERS to that equation of war, famine, disease, it makes it believable that there was a population stagnation in any area of growth measurable, in those numerous smallish countries built on a smallish planet known as Pal/rm(a).
