"Regular UN member nations each get one vote. Regional Delegates, however, get an additional vote for every UN member in their region who endorses them. This can makes Delegates from large regions quite powerful."

Regional delagates gain an additional vote for every UN member in their region who endorses them. For those who collectively joined, and were immediately contacted and informed to join new regions, you have to be informed immediately.

That you are asked to join a region, become a member of the UN, and then give your endorsement to the highest endorsed regional delegates. Not only do you have your vote, but your endorsement of the regional delegate adds another vote to their choice on any resolution brought forward for vote.

If you agree with your regional delegate in their decision for maybe himself or his region in a nay or yay decision on a resolution, support them. However, if you disagree with their decision, remove your endorsement, since it would be actively giving them another vote toward something you may disagree on. After the vote is finished, you may re-endorse your regional delegate.

Shhhhhhhhhh!

Don't let them know!

Considering how many don't know the actual way the politics works around here, I think it's high time that most of the newer members knew right away. Taking advantage of our newest members in such devious manners?

"HI, WELCOME, JOIN (SO AND SO) REGION!!! MAKE SURE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE UN! ONCE YOU BECOME PART OF THE UN, DON'T FORGET TO ENDORSE ME!"

How many didn't know that endorsing a delegate actually gave them extra power with an extra vote per endorsement. And that some of these endorsements are passed by whole regions, even if some of their own members did vote no, not knowing their extra vote to the delegate could have been used to vote yes.

Know seriously. How many of you have been taking advantage of your new regional members?

I would not withdraw my vote simply on the basis of my delegate voting differently to me on any particular resolution. However, if it was a trend that my delegate did vote the opposite to me on a regular basis, then clearly my delegate and myself would share widly opposing views. Thus I'd have to withdraw my vote.

Withdrawing an endorsement for a delegate on a single issue seems a little petty to me.
