If people stress you out it is because of behaviour.
To be fair it beats me what an SR does. Toe it sounfs they represent Steemit Inc and not a country.
Btw there are who do not post a report every month. Are they there for their country (only)? 🤷
If so how about all those countries without SR?
They indeed receive a reward for sharing a report about what they did: hosting a contest, moderating, commenting (?), powerup and?
Next to that they receive extra SP delegated.
Has it always been this way? I doubt it but right now it seems that the answer on yiu last question is yes. I don't see anything special be done. Fast growth perhaps?
During my time on Steemit, I have seen at least 3 people resign from the SR position, for various reasons related to economics, freedom and work demands. Which are very acceptable reasons, and after that it is only a matter of time to do Power Down. I hope @adeljose does not get to this stage.
But what I also want to highlight is that there doesn't seem to be a significant problem when the former SRs are no longer in their positions, there is no gap to fill, no one really feels a loss. So maybe no one really had a big impact?
Back to SC, the initial requirement was to be from a different continent/country. I don't know if the Steemit Team has predicted that each SC member will pay more attention and support users from their own country, or maybe there is a term I heard called Cross-Curation. Does that seem reasonable when it's based on nationalism, supporting each other, encouraging each other?
For me it would also be important to know how to avoid stressors before working in a team, maybe not involving too many members is the most effective solution right now?
I gather that the most important thing is to have a common vision. No problem with different tastes in drinks right? @aneukpineung78

Personally, I can say that there was a period in which I decided not to apply for SR because I knew that I had to do a Power Down to buy my current house, I was aware of the work it takes to select Srs, and therefore, I did not want to apply to avoid resigning if selected. For the next period I did apply, and I had the opportunity to be elected.
The SRs have the task of supporting any user who requires it, regardless of nationality, therefore, it is necessary that they educate themselves to obtain more knowledge about what is related to Steemit, with the intention of effectively serving in this role.

I have nothing to say about SRs at this point. You might be right, at least partially. 😅 One question: If I am to run for SR, what would you say? Would you support me? If you would, why?☺️ If you wouldn't, WHY? 😡
SC? Well, then again you might be right, partially, but, trust me, I don't really consider the nationality and I believe so too about my SC partner wakeupkitty. She voted for a high percentage of all Indonesian Steemians the Team True Colours has cast the votes so far (or at least forward me the link to discuss and for me to vote). Do I look for Indonesians to vote? Of course. But, will I vote anything? No.
We often discuss before voting on an article. And almost always the problem with Indonesian Steemians is about the use of hashtags which can sometimes lead to tag-abuse, and if the article is decent enough, we will vote and then comment on things that need to be improved (i.e. the use of hashtags). So they get two benefits at once (if they are willing to learn and want improvement). Mistakes can always be corrected, but thickheadedness can't. Hahaha.
This time I think you are completely (not partially) right. 😆

I think whether I support you or not will not affect anything, I am a nobody. Moreover, as is the tradition in our beloved country, there is no free support 😁
However, if you look at your track record and behavior to date, it seems that you deserve the title of SR. You are happy to build interaction with Steemians through comments, which most SRs are not doing nowadays. So I will press the YES button for you, unless there is another candidate who is willing to offer a more favorable deal for me 😉

I can't say I feel Dutch and I am not European either, I don't like it if all countries in Europe are called the same, that's an American way of thinking, cultures, history differ so I guess I am nothing, a nobody in no one's land, somewhere world wide, Monkey Land, Land's End or Heaven who knows (no, not Mars)
Since you serve drinks: I like to remind you I drink tea and I am still waiting for it. How long ago is it you invited me and our friend from the picnic walk among the river? Plus the tea is instead of those 15 upvotes you received as botto steem ran wild.
Back to nationality: I never think in those terms I only notice some are always upvoted and others forgotten because of country, culture or whatever people can find for a reason no matter if they are part of this platform and help it grow. A bitter pill to take
Should I hit a button for the YES?

Why do SRs leave?
Several reason but the first question we can ask is (I don't have the answer in all cases): How long were those SRs in charge? 3 months, 3 years?
How hard was the pressure? Some do nothing others works 20 hours per day. Is that okay or can the workload change? Setting hours just like a doctor in the Netherlands (part time and never present).
Are these SRs missed? Not if there are 6 in one country because there are still left (is it necessary there are that many?).
We all will come to a stage that we leave, have better things to do, get ill or have the offline life asking for more attention. You will not find many who can generate a long term guaranteed income. I know I can't and never will unless I can move to a country where everything is for free.
No I don't believe the Steemit Team said an SC should give more attention to their own country fellows. If that would be the case I can upvote 8 Dutch people, I will adopt Belgium and South Africa and will ignore the rest.
All I heard (months ago) that it's not "allowed" to upvote in the communties you are a moderator at more than twice. I have no idea if this is true or more like made up or said to avoid that all votes go to the same community?
On the other hand SC teams give their guidelines and I can't recall it's ever said whatever they said is not allowed. The only SC I know literally said he will mainly focus/vote for his country was from Ukraine (also no one said: but hey you should look everywhere for that hidden gem). Well, we do but also focus on Europe since it's a fact most SC teams don't. If there's no SC from a European country (I don't count Ukraine because they rare vote for other European countries) this means most countries/communities we vote for will not receive a single vote (a bit has changed since I see that some SC follow me and vote for those on my list but I doubt they will if I am not a SC doubt as in I don't believe it).

To understand some things, it is important that you know something.
After the fork, Steemit was deserted in terms of activity, therefore, the team began to carry out a series of dynamics, including #thediarygame, which generated an increase in activity, even attracting new users.
A new need arose for the Steemit team, they wanted to address the attention to the largest number of users possible, for this they devised the Country Representatives, who had to serve the users of their respective countries, several Representatives became corrupted, while others did Power Down and "left". Over time, the Steemit team changed the role to Steem Representative which is what it is today.
As I once told you, SRs try to accomplish some tasks.

Are people still doing something just for the sake of good or the "glory"?
If large sums of money are involved corruption is the result and it still happens and blind eyes are turned to it. So I can only say: What do you expect?
There are plenty of solutions like (and I said the same with the SLC) by not promising high upvotes or whatever but see at the end of the year if a reward/bonus is a nice earned extra. It might make a world of difference (especially because the end of the year is a hard time for nearly everyone due to bills piling up and celebrations).
Powerdown?
Should all Steem remain here forever? It's told time after time that these are savings for "later" and in case of need. Who can decide what this case is need is and when?
Also: there are who did powerdown time after time (at least three times) and still receive high support and so on even after robbing the safe.
On the other hand there are also Steemians who are burned out by this platform and decided to leave.
A solution for the burn-out problem due to the extreme hard work done by some on this platform, and I talk about 20 hours non stop Steemit without a private life, might be a good thing as well. I doubt that is what the Steemit Team does.
Everyone tries hard in his/her own way. It's good to keep in mind that this is social media, it should be a fun place to be not a slavery where everyone is tiptoeing and people are afraid to express themselves which is still the current situation.
Thanks for the update and links I'll save them .
