I'm not suddenly screaming about Belgium now because I don't care about the other regions, Biyah. I'm screaming about Belgium now because I only returned to NationStates a few days ago, and had left shortly before Influence was implemented. I thought you knew that, because I'm pretty sure you were in the Equilism channel the very day I returned. With this system, we'll at least have a chance to save the Belgiums of the world instead of waiting while they're slowly bled dry.
Furthermore, you seem to be making the assumption that the delegacy would change hands every day. My intuition says that such a fight would follow a geometric distribution where only a very few regions would end up in battles of more than a few days. I mean, there's only so many friends you can call on.
