I use this as an example. Goes for any "sector" under these circumstances. I refer to "losing" a sector when all you've done is released a puppet. In this case I get a 4.5% dissent hit for creating the Baltic States (interesting, I thought most were 2.5% or 5%). However a little later I get a message similar to "Baltic Sector Lost we will retake it immediately" when it hasn't really been lost. Are we saying 4.5% got upset when we created a new ally... and then 2% additionally got upset when they thought "hang on a minute, if the Baltic States now exist as a country, oh no we must have lost the Baltic!!!"
Two things, firstly I find it slightly dubious that creating allies causes dissent anyway - I'm sure a lot of people would actually be pleased that there is a new member of the axis! Secondly, you've already had the penalty for creating a puppet (which perhaps shouldn't exist anyway) and then you get punished as if you'd been defeated in battle in the same area - quite a different outcome of course. Sure you probably got the bonus (Baltic Sector captured event, 2% of people very pleased), but why would the same number of people get upset about the new ally? Probably more reasonable is that it should instead cost substantial resources, money and maybe even manpower (for bureaucrats / police etc) to create a puppet rather than dissent.
