"Influence" On Nation Profiles

[The United States of Atlibruis]

What does the "Influence" tab/status mean on a given nation's profile? Is that dependent on positions within a nation's region, endorsements, etc.?

Sorry if this is posted a lot/the answer is in some FAQ, but I haven't seen anything about this.

it means its how much control you get internationally.

Well ok that makes sense, but how is that measured?

You get a little bit of regional influence every day that you're in a region, with you gaining more influence per day by having more WA endorsements.

Someone can correct me I'm wrong, I think you get 1 influence per update just for being in a region and each endorsement you have counts as 1 additional influence. So if someone had 5 endos, they'd get 12 influence per day since there are two daily updates.

You also stop gaining influence if you don't log in for a week IIRC.

Influence was introduced in 2006 to take mods out of R/D disputes. The number serves as a limit on the border control powers of regional officers. Basically, Delegates and ROs need a certain influence level to put a password on a region, and a certain amount to eject particular nations. Every update (there are two a day, one at 12:00 PM Eastern Time and one at 12:00 AM Eastern Time), nations that have been active within the last 8 days gain influence. The influence gained is equal to 1 + the number of endorsements the nation has. This can accumulate into infinity, except in Game-Created Regions. In Game-Created Regions, nations with ten endorsements or below flatline at 4,015 influence. If a nation in a GCR has more than ten endorsements, their influence expires after six months. Nations lose influence for leaving a region.

If you are asking about the titles that appear next to a nation's World Factbook Entry, that's a measure of the nation's influence as a percentage of the total influence in a region.

That was probably more information than you wanted or needed, but here's an in-depth guide in case you want to know more.

Thanks for the answers, although what does "R/D" and "RO" stand for?
