As one of the players in such a closed Border Civ, let me try to explain a bit.
In this Case, 5 of my real Life Buddys an me joined a Civ and closed Borders sortly after. It is our 3rd Game as a group. We talk to each other every day via TS. The last times we were stuck in a max Player Civ, which makes you unable to "Win the Game". This is because of a massive unballence in the Game. We went into the Game 1811 BC and went City Siz 8 in a few hours via one Great Person Fertality Rites. a 1 GP Renesance and a 1GP Industrial Revolution later, your City looks acceptable.
In a War, it is a nice effort for anybody to give Troops, but i Lost to many Wars, due to 1-3 Unit Stacks, that prevented 20-40 Unit Stacks to enter the battlefield.
In Max Player Civs i have seen people buying Wonders, within 2 or 3 moves toward losing a battle ... We all try to give hints or talk to people but there wasnt much a response ...
We are 8 people in our Civ, so we are close to your numbers and i cant understand 1-3 People Civs. but i understand the reasoning behind it...

No Longer Just Lurking
I too can understand both the frustration and why people do it. I started in a max player Civ and it became impossible to do anything, eventually we went to meritocracy to at least drop those players that logged on once then never again. The nucleus from that game (8 people) tried to form our own civ in the next game, we managed to get 6 of us in but due to time zone differences the game filled before the others could log on. 1 person civs does seem a bit ridiculous and a min size before closing borders may be one way but would make team formation difficult if you wanted to play with your friends.
There needs to be a way to register a team (a min size would be fine) so that you can easily play with friends despite the time differences.
