| What is New Hyperion? New Hyperion (NH) is a region of NationStates. It is an empire built on the principles of Hyperionism, our guiding philosophy. Great! How do I sign up? Hold on there, buddy, you haven't even registered yet! You'll have to scroll up (or just click here) and take care of that first. After that, take a look at those four forums at the top of the list. The Low Orbit Welcome Wagon is where you can apply for Plebeianship and introduce yourself. You can undergo Patricianship if you're interested in leadership. For everything else, go to Imperial Service. What if I'm a diplomat? Go to the Immigration Desk instead, and we'll get you masked. What's the government situation look like? Our region has three main levels of command: the Imperial Council, the Inquisition, and the Hyperion Senate. The Imperial Council (IC) consists of the Autarch, Chancellor, Lord Inquisitor, High Lords, and military command. It assembles when sensitive or secret decisions need to be made. Its members otherwise act separately as department heads and administrators. The Inquisition is the law enforcement of the region. Inquisitors ensure that all members are complying with any requirements currently set in place, and, along with the Lord of Development, also controls admission into the Patrician caste. The Judiciary, our courts system, also exists as part of the Inquisition. The Hyperion Senate consists of all our Patricians, and is the primary body of law and policy. The Senate operates somewhere between a democracy and a mob, and doesn't necessarily need hard votes to get things done. While the IC is technically superior to the Senate, it is more common for the Councillors to participate as Senators. As such, the Hyperion Senate tends to be the most important part of the entire government. Is that it? Of course not, that would be dry and boring. Granted, the Hyperion Senate is about as boring as a discussion on abortion, but you probably don't want to deal with its squabbles and silliness 24/7. That's why we have the Imperial Service and the military. The Imperial Service consists of the various departments, such as Foreign Affairs and Recruitment. All departments are volunteer-only, though enlistment and training in the Hyperian Guard is highly recommended for all members. In general, however, you will be encouraged to join under-staffed departments. Oh yeah, didn't your recruitment telegram mention an RP? Why yes it did! While we allow other RPs, of course, our main RP is the one that sets the standard of our theme and culture. It's kind of complex and involved, but once you get the ball rolling it's about as smooth sailing as any other RP. What if I need help? Pop us a question. Our patience is legendary. You may also check the Great Library of Trantor for answers to some of the more common questions. |

Recently on the RMB, there was a discussion on our heritages and I thought to myself, this would be a great way for us to learn more about our cultures, outside of NationStates and perhaps learn a few things. So basically you can post: Where we live now (we don't need specific GPS coordinates), but something general e.g. Halifax, Nova Scotia. The country (countries) of your heritage. Finally, if you want, you can post where you've been during your many travels and life experiences. You can list them by country, city, state or combination of any of these. Rules:
World Heritage Map ![]() A Red Dot denotes where you live now A Blue Dot denotes your place of heritage A Green Dot denotes where you've been Lord Taulover From: Los Angeles, California, United States Heritage Connections in: Guandong, China and Shanghai, China Has visited: The United States, Canada, Germany, China Lord Alexander From: England, United Kingdom Heritage Connections in: England, Denmark (perhaps) Has visited: Corsica, France; Sardinia, Italy; Rome, Italy; Paris, France; Freiburg, Germany; Switzerland; Turkey; Oregon, United States; New York, New York, United States; Seattle, Washington, United States Story: Saw a naked woman in Turkey at a young age, compliments of a sunbather Lord Laurentus From: Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa Heritage Connections in: South Africa (Afrikaans), Germany, English (distant), Malaysian (distant) Has visited: Germany, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho Lord Inquisitor Colberius X From: Just outside of Rochester, New York, United States Heritage Connections in: Italy, England, Germany Has visited: Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada; District of Columbia, United States; Minnesota, United States; Ohio, United States; Massachusetts; United States; Wisconsin, United States; Pennsylvania, United States; Florida, United States Aragonn From: Virginia, United States Heritage Connections in: Germany, Scandinavia, Denmark, Britain Has visited: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, United States; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Edited by Miricano, Nov 14 2014, 10:44 AM.

When I went to Turkey I was extremely young, and it was the first time I ever saw a completely naked woman thanks to a sunbather. |

Born and raised in a suburb of Rochester, the third largest city in New York State. My ancestry is primarily from Italy, England, and Germany, in that order. The only other country I've been to is Canada, going to Niagara Falls a couple of times. If everything works out, I'll be going to Ireland, England, and France next year. Stateside, I've been to DC, Minnesota, Ohio, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida. |

Born and raised in Virginia. Heritage mostly from Germany, Scandinavia, Denmark, and Britain. I've been down to Myrtle Beach, SC, and up to Philadelphia, PA, just visiting. I've never been outside my time zone. |

If I don't feel like going all out on a story, I'm not gonna write one.

If you really want a story, while going through Zimbabwe, I saw them prepare to stone a "witch" in one remote little village. Got right out of there. |
