The game should always be on the side of the player by default and not set them up to be the victims of a raid in order to learn.

For tag runs it's always founderless

Doin' raidin' the right way. .
I agree, they 'should' be keeping on eye on the delegate controls, but they are very easy to miss and for new players very easy to misunderstand what they do. I would have advocated making the WA Regional Controls setting a little more obvious with a more overt description (instead of it being hidden) and including a link to information about raiding and defending, but I don't think that it's an adequate solution to the problem.

Given founders themselves are no longer deterrents to raiders, the least the game could do is to keep up with the times and provide a (slightly more effective) deterrent - non-executive delegates on founding.

The region's World Assembly Delegate can access Regional Control. (?)
Delegates normally have access to Regional Control, allowing them to eject and ban nations from their region, suppress posts on the Regional Message Board, modify the World Factbook Entry, and institute a password. These actions cost a certain amount of Influence (which is accumulated by remaining resident in a region over time), meaning that new Delegates are relatively powerless compared to Founders.
Commonly, a Founder and Delegate will share access to Regional Control. If you wish, however, you can strip the Delegate position of this power, leaving Regional Control in your hands alone. The region will depend completely upon your attention and benevolence.
The main reason you might do this is to preserve your region just the way you want it. The main reason you might not is to allow residents a voice in regional matters, which stimulates activity.
This setting can be changed later. You, the Founder, can revoke the Delegate's access to Regional Control, but the Delegate can never revoke yours.
Delegates automatically gain access to Regional Control if the Founder ceases to exist, departs the region, or has surrendered power via the checkbox above.

Bold mine, this is misguiding, and even untrue for starting regions in the current context.
Maybe a little line like "because raiders might mess with your region." could be added after the first sentence...

All a new founder needs to do is read the options set before him. Do we really need to babysit them?
