The Delegate of Taijitu is the head of government and de facto head of state of Taijitu. They are charged under the region's constitution with upholding both the constitution itself and any other laws. They are assisted in this task by an appointed cabinet of ministers. The constitution also provides that the delegate is the commander in chief of the armed forces and may negotiate treaties with foreign powers, veto legislation of the Senate and nominate justices to the Court. Unique among government offices, the delegate also holds power in-game, voting on behalf of the region in World Assembly resolutions. They are elected every seven weeks alongside the Senate by an instant runoff vote on the same ticket as a vice delegate who assumes the delegate's office if they become unable to serve. The most recent elections were held in August of 2010.
