[AMENDMENT] Endorsement Caps Act, article 3.3

Codex Memorial Garden The Magisterium
1

Hi everyone, I come here in my capacity as Grand Vizier. Article 3.1 of the Endorsement Caps Act has been invoked in order to lower TEP’s endorsement cap to 200. Since our WA numbers have gone down significantly since January 2025, and not all our Viziers are now able to stay above 250 endos, the Praesidium has approved this change, and now I must present it to the Magisterium for your consideration.

Article 3.1 of the Endorsement Caps Act:

  1. The Viziers may, following a confirmatory vote of the Praesidium, propose to the Magisterium the Endorsement Cap. This proposal shall be confirmed via a normal majority vote by the Magisterium.

The proposed amendment to article 3.3:

  1. The current Endorsement Cap for all nations in The East Pacific is 200 250 endorsements.

Since I’m aware of how controversial this topic has been in the Magisterium’s grounds, let me state that this has been subject to lenghty discussion. Viziers are generally aware of how this isn’t a magical solution, but an immediate and temporary one. It must be part of a whole, complemented by efforts from the ends of Praesidium, Executive and generally the Government itself to stand against the constant endo drop. There are already plans in the making regarding that, but the Praesidium thinks it convenient to make this amendment part of it, even if just until we manage to revert the trend.

The regional WA population (and therefore the endorsement levels the Delegate and Viziers can attain and maintain) has declined significantly since the cap was last amended.

  1. The red line is all nations with WA in the region. We had 563 WA nations on 2025-05-26, we have 420 today. A loss of 143 regional WAs (not endorsements).
  2. The blue line is delegate endorsements. We had 452 del endorsements on 2026-06-26, we have 326 today. A loss of 126 endorsements.
  3. The yellow dotted line is the percentage of WA nations endorsing the delegate. I included it to show that the % has remained mostly stable, the issue is primarily raw numbers coming in and going out.

With this in mind, the proposed change to the endo-cap makes all the sense in the world to me. In favour.

It is my general understanding that 250 would pass with ease, and 200 can surely come later.

This is what I wrote on the matter exactly 16 months ago, on January 25th, 2025. Dio’s data makes it very clear that “later” has come to pass.

Support without objection. A 20% reduction in the endocap for a 25% reduction in the WA population is fairly sensible if not mildly underdoing it.
