Taijituan External Affairs
External Affairs, as one of the Government positions of Taijitu, was open from the beginning of the region. As an office, it's purpose is to handle the region's position in the game of Nationstates through dealing with other regions. It is an appointed office, as designated in The Constitution of Taijitu. The High Councillor is chosen by the Elected Delegate.
Stucture (As of 14th January, 2007)
The Forum's office of External Affairs is run with two seperate sections, though every High Councillor will have the right to change this, should they wish to.
Office of the High Councillor of External Affairs
The Office is the place for all queries to the current High Councillor. It is also used for posting official statements by the High Councillor about issues that concern that office.
Embassies
The Heart of the External Affairs Section - Embassy Exchange is at the heart of the External Affairs system, as it allows regions to grow friendships and share information as to how things are going. Regions can request embassies here, or, they get one created if the High Councillor requests an embassy with them on their forum and is accepted. For a list of Embassies, see below.
The Regional Reports
The High Councillor for Taijituan External Affairs will work to release a series of Regional Newsletters, or reports, which will be reported here as and when they are released.
History (Section for Each Holder of the Office)
