Hi,
I'm just after getting enough endorsements to be the UN delegate in my region, but it says that theres a UN update pending.
How long does it take for this update to run??

Hard to say. There's 2 nightly updates so far as I can tell, one usually happening between 2300-2400, the next right around 0600. (All times US. Mountain Standard) The 0600 seems to be when most of the UN endorsements take, and most of the other UN items as well, and the 2300 mostly seems to be concerned with issues.
The site also seems to be essentially offline at the 0600 update.
Maybe if Qaaol will update the Tech FAQ...

When do the updates run? What do they do? How long do they take to complete?
There are two update times, which (regardless of any official terms) I call the "UN Update" and the "Off-hand Update." During both updates, any issue choices made by your nation are processed, UN Delegate powers can be granted (not 100% sure about this - Sal?), and for nations set to two issues per day (or per weekday), an issue is placed in there issue box. Extra things happen only during only the UN Update. As you may guess, these things have to do with the UN. First off, the delegateship plate (UN Memeber/UN Delegate under your name) can only change hands during this time. Additionally, at the end of the update, all UN matters are proccessed. This means that all proposals slated to expire that day expire, it either passes or fails at the end of the update. One final thing that happens is that the UN rankings are updated during the update (as it cycles through the regions) and the new list is posted at the very end of the update. If the resolution at vote ends that day, though, votoing ends during the offhand update, not the UN.
Update times:
UN: ~1PM PST - ~4:00PST in my experiance - Exact ending time is variable, but can be verified by the new UN Rankings being published.
Offhand: Ends at ~5PM EST
