The simple mechanic of this would be to 1) weight Influence by population and duration in the region, and 2) have an option to sanction a nation instead of endorsing it.

{tiny print] wow. You're practically a planet all by yourself.

Hmm. Just had another wicked thought. If you ever hit a negative Influence total in a region, you get automatically ejected. It would be an indirect way of residents to evict an obnoxious neighbor.

I don't like it.
Who's to say a nation that has been in a region for 2 years is more important/valuable than a nation that has been in the same region for 2 months?
The older nation may simply log into his nation once a week to answer his issues and then he's gone without ever saying a word.
The newer nation may log in every day, post frequently on the RMB, be active on an off-site forum.
Why should his endorsement mean less?

Indubitably. However, realistically, I will have been ejected long before a change like this ever got incorporated. In the world of might-have-been, it would have been difficult at best for just a half-dozen raiders to take down the few of us that had been there for quite awhile. Marcuslandia, in particular, oldest resident with a population of 1.7 billion, could have empowered pretty much any other resident into the Delegate slot. (The trick would have been deciding who in the region _wasn't_ an infiltrator, as there were at least three of them.)

I wish I remember who wrote:Games like Nationstates are like a big cardboard box, and there are two kinds of people in the world. The kind who look at the empty void inside the box and ask "Where the hell is it?" and the kind who jump into the box with their friends and make it into a fort, or a spaceship.

Quislings. Sleeper agents. Skorzeny's infiltrators at Battle of the Bulge. The American Nazi Bund in the US prior to WWII. (Not all of them have a heavy impact.) Turncoats all over the place.
Can't blame them for utilizing an obvious strategy. However, those infiltrators shouldn't have an impact way out of proportion to their actual potential. Like, a country the size of Albania shouldn't have as much as one the size of the USSR -- which is what the system is doing now.
