The '''Lieutenant Delegate of Taijitu''' (originally '''Vice Delegate''') is a member of the executive branch of Taijitu's government. They are elected every seven weeks on the same ticket as the candidate for [[Delegate of Taijitu|Delegate]] who selected them. The office's only formal constitutional duty is to assume the office of Delegate in the event that the current Delegate can no longer serve for any reason. In practice, many Lieutenant Delegates have gone beyond these this and served as general, high ranking members of the Cabinet, assisting the Delegate in their executive responsibilities.

The Lieutenant Delegate has no proper constitutional powers. Instead, they are required only to assume the office of the Delegate if for some reason the current one. can no longer perform their duties. The lack of any other explicit duties has never, however, been interpreted to mean that the Lieutenant Delegate can do nothing else. Many Lieutenant Delegates have played an active role in government as a member of the Delegate's [[Cabinet of Taijitu|cabinet]], essentially functioning as a Minister without any specific domain. This is not always the case, and some Lieutenant Delegates have stuck solely to their sole constitutional duty of standing by in case they are needed.

Flag of Al'Khem

Khem, sometimes known as The Khem or Al'Khem, is an archipelago nation home to one of Taijitu's oldest civilizations. The Khemish civilization dates back 19,000 BCE as the first evidence of Khemish agrarian villages show themselves emerging from the nomadic al'Ta, there was also a division of burial practices in this time with the al'Khem beginning to use mounds as opposed to the al'Ta tree burial. These agrarian villages eventually became the principalities of Khem, whose caste systems defined the Khemish people for thousands of years. The cities of the al'Khem eventually became engineering marvels of the ancient world, perfectly blending land and water through canals, chinampas, hugelkultur and dams. The wealthy Librarians, the caste at the top of Khem society, controlled nearly everything and lived extravagantly, though eventually losing their grip on reality and soon after ruler-ship. Da'Kavo, a slave soldier caste, patrolled the streets acting as violent enforcers of Library edict in addition to their position in fighting foreign enemies. The builder caste, designed and lived comfortable, simple lives for themselves. While the "Servile" caste ostensibly had it the worst and were the forefront of historic revolutions, riots and civil rights movements. Lastly are the al'Ta who are a scattered tribal people still dwelling in the Hyades rain-forest and along various waterways in al'Khem, they practice an ancient animistic version of the Libraries Path of Truth. It is a multicultural nation, consisting mainly of ethnic Khems, Ozians, Jutensans, Bustians, Lycanthropes, Dunedain, Edain, Minosian, Benn, Finn, Belaedinosi, and Funkadelians. Despite widespread poverty in the lower castes, an abundance of food ensures no Khem goes hungry.
