Welcome to this thingy!
Basically, it’s just pictures of Delegates. The idea was taken (with permission) from HEM, whose original version for Europeia https://forums.europeians.com/index.php?threads/imperial-republica-portrait-gallery.1276326/. Just thought it’d be a cool thing to try and mimic!
This is an official project under the Ministry of Publishing, mainly so that if I CTE or ascend to a higher plane, someone else from the government can take care of this (hopefully). If you have any suggestions for pictures or format, questions, comments, etc, reach out to me on Discord (derp#9479) or Nationstates https://www.nationstates.net/nation=zukchiva. I dont bite! (PLEASE reach out if you see any inaccuracies!)
Important notes:
- Dates with an asterisk mean that the stated date may be inaccurate
- Interim Delegate means a Vizier appointed to serve as temporary Delegate by the elected Delegate
- Acting Delegate means a Vizier appointed by the Magisterium to serve as temporary Delegate.
- Term means the period of months an individual was supposed to serve as Delegate. Terms were initially six months starting from the Concordat, but they were lessened to four months sometime around 2014-2015. Individuals who are listed without terms are to be assumed that they did not serve on a term-basis.
- Suggestions for pictures are welcome~

“It’s been a long run with the gang, Loop, FPS, Kelssek, Pack, Kangarawa, and others. I hate to leave it all behind. But it’s what I need to do – it’s what’s best for me and what we like to call “RL,” and I think it’s best for the region and NationStates as a whole. I would like for everyone to take care, and enjoy the game. I’m going to miss you guys, and the game. I really am. Thanks for having me here, and allowing me the honor of serving you, regardless of how poorly I’ve done in the end.” - Gnidrah during his resignation, after the Empire had invaded the East Pacific.

Elder Flemingovia
Elder
Joint Fourth Head of Government
September 26th, 2008 to January 20th, 2009

In a few months time, when the region is more active, I would set about putting in a more developed system of government. trust me, I have seen many, many times in NS weak regions putting in an elaborate system of government, only to see it crash and burn under its own weight.”
- Flemingovia on possible inter-Empire government.

Fifth Head of Government

Delegate Allegheny
3rd Delegate (One term)
Seventh Head of Government
September 15th, 2010* to April 1st, 2011

I do this not out of a desire to control, of course, but out of necessity: we can’t have embassies sit unanswered for months on end.

Eleventh Head of Government
June 13th, 2013 to November 8th, 2013

Twelfth Head of Government
November 8th, 2013 to June 30th, 2014

The biggest difficulty that TEP faces is combating the Summer Lull-something that hopefully won’t be too difficult with the Ministers that have been appointed to the Directorate. They are capable, active, and committed. Ex oriente lux!” - Ramaeus during his inaugural speech.
Delegate Xoriet
10th Delegate (One term)
Fourteenth Head of Government
October 30th, 2014 to March 5th, 2015
“We regret that this was conducted on our forums and that some of the involved were from our region. The South Pacific can rest assured that The East Pacific as a region, and particularly its government, will always do its utmost to safeguard and respect the sovereignty of other regions, especially of its allies and fellow Game Created Regions. As Delegate it is my sincere hope that, in a not too distant future, The South Pacific will agree to once more enhance the diplomatic relations between our two governments and their Citizens, in common trust and respect.” - Xoriet releasing a statement on Operation Brave Toaster.

Sixteenth Head of Government
October 31st, 2015 to December 20th, 2015

Eighteenth Head of Government
March 11th, 2016 to October 10th, 2016
“Compromises must be made of both parties, but depending on the situation, one group will trump the other in who’s case is right, based on TEP law. Communication is key though. Once communication stops, everything else will break down. This will cause unnecessary animosity between the Conclave and the Magisterium. That is not acceptable. We are all on the same team.” - McStooley during his Delegacy campaign, on issues between the Magisterium and the Conclave.
Acting Delegate Todd McCloud
Interim Delegate | 2nd Acting Delegate

August 201th, 2016 to November 16th, 2016 | November 16th, 2016 to November 24th, 2016
“In the meantime, I will be working with people in the region to bump up your endorsement count. I’ll be sending TG’s and figuring out ways to get more nations endorsing the true delegate of the region. It’s my hope that when you do come back (hopefully next week) you’ll either be really really close or well over my count.” - Todd apologizing for accidentally bypassing McStooley in endorsements.
