Krits put it best.
Anyway, as most people have voted for this law, it is now officially a law. Some people have said the law could use a re-writing, so let's discuss that.

Please let me know if it's ok with you for this one. Please feel free to correct it.
Endorsement Cap Law
Article I: Endorsement Cap - All nations in Hyrule are allowed to have the maximum of 33% endorsments of the delegate. (As example if the Delegate have 100 endorsments the maximum endorsments a nation can have is 33). -Once it is discovered that a nation reaches 10% of the maximum endorsements allowed, they will be warned about the rule. (This would mean with the previous example that a nation would recieve an warning when it gets 10 endorsments) They will also be warned once they reach 25% of the maximum endorsements allowed. (With the same example this would mean 25 endorsments) -If a nation goes above 33% endorsement, then a TG will be sent explaining that the nation went over the limit, and they have 36 hours (from when the nation first sees the telegram) to ask nations to unendorse that nation, or resign from the UN. Nations should also be referred to the importance of joining the UN thread, if they resign, and suggest that they re-join in about 10-15 hours.
Article II: Vice-Delegate -One nation shall be designated the vice-delegate. This nation will be allowed to have 30 less endorsements than the delegate. -If the current delegate suddenly dissapears from NationStates or decides to resign, then the VD shall become temporary delegate until elections for a new, permanent delegate are held by the chancellor. The CoJ will finalize the delegate appointment. -If the vice-delegate goes above the endorsement limit, he or she will also be subject to the same measurements taken as with any other nation who goes over the limit.
Article III: Punishments -If a nation exceeds the limit, they shall be ejected from the region for 24 hours. A telegram will be sent explaining that they have the right to show up on the forums for a trial and explain the situation. -If delegate's ruling is upheld, then Delegate and the Chancellor of Justice decide on terms of punishment (i.e. whether or not the violator is banned from the region for good, or a certain amount of time, or whether they can come back after the following update, under a probationary period).

Nope EMC... I've just changed the fractions to percentages... and gave an example to make it easy for the people to understeand... I've proposed to do that before, but Nessie asked me to do that only after the votings.
Feel free to check... if you change the percents to factions you will see that's the same number.
1/3 = 0.33 = 33% (well... in deed is 33.333333333333333333%) 1/10 = 0.1 = 10% 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

I'm against any kind of limits in number of endorsments one can receive. It's, basicly, nothing but introducing a dictatorship and UN delegacy for life. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Ness' delegacy, but if we want to work on furtherment of democracy in Hyrule, this act should never be in power. I believe we shouldn't work on consequences, but to introduce rules of giving endorsments to other nations, instead. The main reason a law like this is needed is that the region's founder is inactive. In the past, I have recieved a TG from a nation that said that there are some raider groups who would like to invade, and we don't really want that to happen. Even though Hyrule is large, there are some regions which have a lot of invader nations, or will use certain tricks to try and seize the delegacy. There is another option, refounding the region so it has an active founder, but that could take a month or two for it to be complete. k, i understand that and i agree we should watch out of invading regions, but this law (no matter its already implented) will not make any difference as for that matter, cuz it makes no difference if a Hyrule-resident nations have 100+ endorsments, unless delegat is afraid of losing his/her delegacy. In that case, it should have its name changed to Introducing Dictatorship Law.

Ohh c'mon Gnid and EMC... it's just maths... I just dislike 1/3 because it is not an even percentage.

Well... 1/3 = 0.333333333333(ad eternum)... using the maths rules... if it is under 0.335 you change to 0.33 (33%) if it was equal or over 0.335 you would change it to 0.34 (34%)

So even if it were a dictatorship (which it is not, mind you), I would be more than satisfied having her as my dictator, instead of someone less suited for the job. This law is simply being put in place as an additional security measure for the region. We are simply looking to protect the region and its nations; not maintain a dictatorship.

But that still does not make 1/3 an accurate percentage.
