A simple improvement

The game doesnt do things that way. It doesnt keep track of things. You can see in the logs that it checks each province for many things that would fall into the category of "if" checks. And those checks do take measureable time. Adding another would be felt.

No way. If the game programming is done half correctly, this would take no more time than processing an equal number of orders - exactly as much as it would take if each nation's player had issued the order, province by province, except they wouldn't have to bother doing it.

Giving more options, ways for players to automate their order-giving (like letting them issue multiple turn movement orders, and so on), would not make turn processing significantly more complex. It's more work to code in, sure, but that's another matter.
