It's, IMO, not the behavior that would be ideal. It checks for province losses before it checks for province gains. It should be the other way around.

That's akin to a bank doing debits before it does credits, which is bad. Say you have $50 in your account. A charge comes in for $200 on the same day you deposit $500 in cash. That night, when accounting processes the transactions, by doing the debits first you get slapped with a $25 overdraft fee for having a -$150 balance when you should actually have $550 in the account ($350 after the debit). I have had this actually happen, which is why I switched banks to one that has non-idiot programmers.
