Planet Influence Question

I'm having some difficulty understanding the reasons behind the IP of two of my planets.
Planet 1
-Level 26
-Population 21.53b
-1 embassy
-34% approval
26 ip
Planet 2
-Level 7
-Population 11b
-0 embassies
-53% approval
-33 ip
Hovering over the number tells me that the main difference is that Planet 2 is getting 9 points from the planet and 3 from my races influence ability. Planet 1 is getting 0 for both.
Planet 2 is much closer to my homeworld, does that make a difference? Shouldn't a level 26 planet be getting "planet" points for ip? The happiness level of a planet doesn't seem to make much difference since I have one with 35% approval that has almost 60 ip.
A question along the same lines (sort of), is that the manufacturing ability of a planet doesn't seem to be directly correlated to population and the number of manufacturing improvements built. Is there an X factor that just makes IP and manufacturing different for each world, independent of what I build on it?
Thanks for the help!
