Maybe warzones should be made a little more public, in order to make people actually want to take them over. Perhaps, on The World's page, there could be a link to "Warzones" that displayed the WFE's and delegates of every in-game warzone region.
...and if you really need me to, I'll write up a big, long, descriptive, wordy post on why this would be a good thing, but I know you're smart enough to understand its benefits without my having to elaborate.

Exactly why making them more public via a link to a list of the warzones and their WFE's/delegates would be a benefit - raiders and even non-raiders would take an interest in claiming them as their own for advertisement space. This would draw these raiders away from fucking around with regions with natives, and create a fun activity for regions who aren't necessarily raiders but would like something to do.
Cut down on region griefing, increase activity, and don't change game mechanics. What is there to lose?
A little elaboration on the specifics (if suggestion is adopted by the Admin, this might be a helpful idea for the visual setup for this feature. Any modifications that the Admin would like to make to the setup are also good - it's your game, after all). I don't know the first thing about code, but I think you might be able to figure out a way to set up what I'm describing. After all, it's only a page, not anything related to the mechanics of the game.
Suggestion:
On The World's page, below the horizontal line below Today's Featured Region's box, would be a link: "Warzones"
Below this link would be another horizontal line, simply for aesthetics' sake.
This link would lead to a page which would display every warzone in alphabetical order, giving the warzone's name, current delegate, Longest-serving delegate, and world factbook entry, maybe all in a nice little pretty box for each warzone (a bit like the featured region box, maybe?).
