I think that's a fair request but keeping the randomness in play for the Featured Region function is what makes it so nice. No man-hours spent perusing the list, no bias, the the fact that it's left up to chance is just icing on the cake.
Perhaps a rule that excludes regions with minimal activity in their Regional Happenings and RMB could be easy to implement? Idk though, I'm no developer.

The featured region is supposed to help new players find a good region to reside in. So featuring a puppet storage, meme region, or completely dead region is pointless! I propose that nationstates team has one or two real people look over the top 500 or so regions for nations. After looking through they should choose a region to be featured each day. This could be beneficial for new members to find a new home and it could help dying regions get back on their feet!
Tell me what you think!

First of all, yes. Second of all, you have a point here.

As for excluding regions tagged 'puppet storage', it gives card farmers and others who use puppets some recognition. Obviously, though, I'm biased because I farm cards. And regions with less than 3 members might just be developing regions. The chances are, puppet storages and regions with few members are usually not interesting or good. But there are other regions such as The Secret Order that contain very active and prominent members, but that do not have RMB posts. It's a bit difficult for the code to tell which regions are active or not.
