Speaking from a purely security-related perspective, having some kind of endorsement cap is important, if anything because it offers people an objective measure of when they risk having problems with whatever security institution we have after this Great Council.

It might seem obvious to us that nobody should be (for the sake of argument) within 10 endorsements of the Delegate, but that might not be at all obvious to a newcomer or someone mostly uninvolved with regional politics, and it would make no sense to tell someone to drop their endorsement count if there is no regulation to which we can point, or no specific limit between someone with lots of endorsements and someone who is "too close".

I'm all for a discussion on just how high the cap should be, and as I said in the Regional Message Board, the Committee for State Security has actually been discussing a significant increase beyond even our post-Milograd cap, so a much higher cap is definitely possible, perhaps even desirable. But a cap, viewed as a limit, either high or low, to the amount of endorsements nations may have, is something we need to keep.
