I thought the exact same thing. To me, the begining of A Realm Reborn isn't right when we wake up but a while after "until it is once again safe to emerge..." and we had some time to recreate a new Realm. I don't know, let's say Bahamut raged for 3 years, we get waken up at that time then the story starts 2 years after this.

Or people from other countries rebuilt everything.
