Most basically - When you are logged in and you look at a nation, there could be a 1 sentence note below "Endorse Nation"//"Withdraw Endorsement"
which would inform the person logged in whether the nation currently observed endorsed your nation, or not.
It is small, I don't think it's hard to do, and it would be handy for huge regions where a lot endorsements on your nation is normal.

There is a list of the nations endorsing you in your nation's main page.

Geez. I know that. But that is not what i meant. It is just confusing in countries with 100+ endorsements to search over for one country. I just thought it would be handy and much quicker If i didn't have to search through all that and just look at that nation whether the nation endorsed me or not. Saves time, and doens't really involve much effort to implement. Why not?

Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying it's not necessary, but in the mean time - while someone decides if it should be done - ctrl+F the nation in your browser.

You have a couple of easy to hardish options:
1) Suggested already, simply keep one page of your nation open and the other to look at nations
2) Gain access to an endocounter and use that to see if your endo is reciprocated.
3) Design your own script to determine who is returning your endorsements.

A simple solution: copy-&-paste your endorsement list into Word, and run the names of the nations that you're wondering about through the 'Find' function...

Overall, it's not an unreasonable request, but to be honest, our NS1 coders have other priorities right now. Some of those are game related, some are NS2 related, and many are real life related. Something like this just doesn't make the cut of 'essential tasks'.
Also, it may look small to you, but please trust me when I say that minor enhancements can have major implications. The game code isn't some clean, slick, finely tuned work of programming genius. It's a series of hacked corrections added to 5 year old bloated code that was written by an amateur programmer (one Max Barry). For what it is, it's amazing. What it isn't is 'easy'.
I'll consider tossing your request into the enhancement queue, but we're not doing much in the way of enhancements lately. Most all of that happened when we did the update in March. Since this is something that really only helps people in huge regions, it's not going to be something we'd assign any priority to.
Your best bet is to follow the excellent suggestions above.
