| 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. |

Okay, so there's a new RP. My first question is... how the fuck does this actually work? |

If I'm going down, I'm going down MY way. And that means no shoddy storytelling. And you'd better familiarize yourselves with that character sheet, 'cause you're gonna want to know who's who when the bodies start dropping.Thank you! I'm happy for me, too!

College requires critical thinking and a lot of actual work, but it's such a good experience to have. College is so much better than high school. And 5 pages?! Odin help us... Edited by Aragonn, Jun 18 2015, 01:10 AM.

I don't mean to rush, but June is almost over, Colby. Are we going to see those five pages of yours sometime this summer? |

You betcha. I haven't been able to do anything with it for the past week, though, for the same reason I've been gone from here.
What does that even mean? |

It means your 5 page post has inadvertently become a 200 page novel. I dislike explaining jokes, and this one wasn't even that good, but I'll explain it anyway. George R. R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire (the series that Game of Thrones is based on), originally intended to have only three books in the series, then it became five, then seven. There have even been talks of eight. Additionally, the fourth book became so complex and long, that he split them into books 4 and 5, but they follow different characters, around the same narrative time. |

That or he is planning to kill characters we've grown attached to and have families try to kill each other. |

Huh. Good point. I have grown rather attached to the Colbentiellians, and they are definitely going down in a hale of bullets pretty soon. |
