What about rogue delegacies supported by the Guardians? I envision the Regional Guard that I mentioned in my fifth and final point as a check against rogue delegacies. Seeing a few scores of regional guard flags endorsing the delegate and vice delegate that can potentially disappear within just a few days should give any potential rogue delegates pause. If the Guardian system was abandoned all at once, I would agree with you, but I'm only suggesting a very gradual phasing out of the system. As the Guardians are very gradually phased out, their nations would still maintain a very high level of influence. That being said, any GCR is virtually impervious to external threats, and, as almost every GCR has shown, it's almost impossible to protect against internal threats indefinitely. While the Guardian system is the reason why TWP is the most secure GCR behind The Pacific, I believe it's also the reason why TWP is also the most stagnant GCR behind The Pacific. Any nation that has been founded in the region in more than two years has had zero chance of becoming delegate, and we all know that's the one thing most new nations want to eventually do. I think we need to stop trading security for activity. A reputation as a more inclusive region is one we need to begin to foster.

I remember when I was wee little boy, I wanted a dog. And my mom lied to me saying she was allergic to dogs. So I got 4 birds instead. I believed her for more than I would like to admit.
