What can a delegate do?

Hello
I have read many posts to find an answer to this question but I still have some uncertainties. A founder of one region can expel as many native nations as they want to and they do not have to give reason or take away these expelled nations from the regional banned list? Right? Can a delegate do the same thing? Does the power of the delegate to do this change when the founder is no longer alive?
I apologise if this has been answered in some other place but I was unable to find it.

Under no circumstances may a delegate completely empty a region. A natively elected delegate can eject a reasonable number of natives and keep them banned, but they can never completely empty a region out.

Thank-you for your very fast reply. I wonder what a reasonable amount is? How do you calculate that? And, for example, if i have, let us say, 12 nations in a region and then the founder stops and i am delegate, then i could maybe expel 2 natives each day for 5 days. Would because I do only 2 each day mean that i am not emptying it in one time? But the result would still be the same after 5 days?. Sorry for my persistence, i like to understand all the rules (typical law student!)

Why would you want to empty a region?
I may be wrong, but I believe that when people talk about "a reasonable number" they are talking about a limited number of native ejections. To empty a region of 12 people by kicking two out each day seems excessive to me.

no matter how slow you do it, as a delegate, you can't empty a region.
doesn't matter if you kick them all at once, or over a period of days.

However, if the delegate is the founder (like I am), you can be a complete asshole if you want and clear out your region!! :D
But, I don't know why anyone would want to do that.
Basically, a delegate is one who has most of the powers of the founder; such as being able to ensure stability in the region etc... However, they would be prevented from kicking anyone out IF the founder prevented it. In that case, the delegate only has UN fuctions.

I wanted to report a UN Delegate of the region Ille de France for attempting to completely clear out the region. The name of the delegate is Surique. The founder was deleted due to numerous NS infractions, and some of the remaining members of the region have opted to move to a new region called Ile de France. However, the UN Delegate, Surique, has stuck around and is warning all remaining nations to either move or be cleared out, which from my understanding is a rule violation of NationStates. Surique has already begun the process of ejecting nations from the region, again a rules violation of NationStates. Thank you very much for your time, cheers!

Thanks to all for the replies. It is very kind of you. I have just one last question: in a region where no founder has ever been, if the countries of that region decide democratically to all leave so that they can then make the region again, is it then acceptable for the delegate to remove all the nations? I know that many months ago they did this in portugal so a precedent for these behaviours exists. thank you again.

Why can't those nations just leave on their own?
I don't think that the delegate could clear them out if they didn't want to leave.

The nations must leave of their own accord.
