Those being the two nations that I really didn't want to start near.

It's technically possible that the province just had a site that increased its Death scale, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
Scales DO show up the same for everybody, yes. However, positive scales are not positive in negative dominion. Technically I think that what we decided was that most scales turn out to actually be neutral, with the exception the luck scale. However this is one of the more arcane subjects in dominions, and I can't be absolutely positive my recollection is correct here (there's a lot of conflicting statements on the matter too, and I can't be bothered to go looking right now). Anyways, assume that enemy dominion means neutral effect at best, and negative at worst.
