What's a good way to get endorsements? And what are they used for? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new here.

This belongs in gameplay by the way.
Endorsments are used to decide the UN delegate in a region.
The delegate is responsible for voteing on proposals in the UN.
You get endorsments when people decide they want you to be the delegate.

More specifically endorsements can only be given to you by other UN nations that currently reside within your same region. The nation with the most endorsements in any given region is the delegate for that region. Some regions actually elect their delegates as well. You also can use endorsements to submit proposals (providing that number is at least 2). And if I understand it correctly, the number of endorsements that you have also is the same as how much your vote counts for when voting on UN resolutions.

The rest was correct, this statement is wrong, your vote in the UN counts as just one regardless of endorsements. Only the delegate's vote counts for endorsements that s/he has and his/her's own vote. I have 10 endorsements, i am UN delegate, my vote counts for 11. My friend has 5 endorsements, is in the same region, she has only 1 vote in the UN.

The best way is the way I got delegate dont ask them for a endorsement just give all the UN memebers in your region a endorsement they will endorse you bak most of the time.

Thanks for the correction, Wegason, I wouldn't want to give out faulty information.
