| 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:

Rural superstition is very much a problem in Africa. Even in South Africa, some village or another can engage in such activity. |

But isn't South Africa like one of the most progressive nations on the continent? |

Indeed we are. If you visit our cities, you'd be hard pressed to realise you're in a 3rd world country. Travel to little villages however... |

Africa as a whole (South Africa is no different), is a corrupt, bloodthirsty and never-changing place. |

South Africa is a third world country... I would have thought it would have been a second-world country at least |

There is no such thing as a 2nd world country, as far as I know. But yes, we are a 3rd world country. Our cities are well developed however. But read this link. This is by no means an isolated instance, and we are rife with crime of all sorts. Young woman and her grandmother stoned to death |

Second-world country means communist/Soviet bloc. (First world used to mean capitalist democrats/Western Allies and third world originally meant neither Soviet nor US ally, but most of them were developing countries.) |

I always thought it is simply a way to tell developing countries (3rd world countries) apart from developed countries (1st world). |

So, by that term, South Africa should be a first world country as it was an ally and was protected by Great Britain. Right? |
