500 endorsements!
Greetings all,For the first time during my time as delegate, we have reached 500 endorsements. It has been customary to post a screenshot every time this happens, so here is mine below:

Over the past few months, we have maintained an endorsement rate for the delegate higher than 75%, with a record somewhere in the order of 78.5%. I believe this is a record high in TNP since at least Jamie's term (unfortunately I do not have data from before his term readily available). We have achieved this through a combination of regular and personalized manual endotarting, frequent mass telegrams, and scripted automated telegrams, coordinated between myself as Delegate, several departments of the Executive Government, and the Security Council.
The endorsement record during the time when we had our current constitution is 536 endorsements, achieved in February 2013 during mcmasterdonia's term. I recently published a challenge, to break that endorsement record, we different prizes depending on how soon we do so. Given current WA population trends, I expect we will break the record by mid-October.
It is also worth highlighting the endotarting efforts of our Security Council. As we speak, between the Delegate, Vice Delegate, and Security Council, we have nine of the top 10 nations in the world by number of endorsements. Last term I issued a challenge to the Security Council, that we have all top 10 nations next time there is a World Census for most endorsements. Looks like the Security Council are on their way to win the challenge, which of course we will celebrate in typical TNP fashion when it happens.
Sincerely,
