Aura Hyperia was originally created from the merging of the regions Bloemfontein and A Second Try, and then arose from The United States of Europe. Its former residents have rebranded themselves as the Hyperion Order, and currently reside within New Hyperion.

Founded: 29th October 2014

The regional roleplay has now started! Talk to Lord Aragonn about joining!
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?

Remember how I mentioned that I actually was planning a coup anyway, before my crash even happened? Yeah, I was planning on building up several new characters (some of whom have already had minor roles in what's happened) into likable people before killing them off. Ah well, now you just get several pages of trying to figure out who the baddies actually are.

Please help! I need a few questions answered before I'm ready to go. Please post here or PM me with your response.

@Miri: What is the state of my embassy personnel in Port Alexandria?
@Frosty: What sort of response (if any) would have been received by my government?
@Laurentus: How many operatives does Maximus have in Port Alexandria?
@Tau: Can you describe the military installations that would need to be neutralized to secure your capital? As well as the reception your government and citizenry is likely to give to my troops?

EDIT: Feel free to check out the glossary I've added to my factbook, too!

I don't really have my military installations fleshed out. Your pre-crash military invading Rationalist Science would probably lead to a cakewalk, in any case, and many political/military leaders have already evacuated with plans to lead a guerrilla war.

Oh, and there's going to be experimental penguins wreaking havoc on everyone. :D

The citizenry are generally pissed, since Colbentielle attacked a university. Xavier branding the Colbentiellians as "oppressors of knowledge" isn't really an agenda/propaganda he's pushing; the people already believe that once they hear the news. Furthermore, there's the issue of Science having remained neutral throughout the conflict and just recently seeking a peace pact with Colbentielle, so the Scientists also view this as a betrayal. So generally, Colbentielle isn't going to receive a warm reception.

To be completely honest, I did not think that through. Though, to be fair, they most likely will become prisoners of war and tortured and prodded for any information about the Colbentiellian-Laurentian Alliance.

Tis unfortunate but that's war for you.

It'll be public knowledge once my post is up anyway. :P

Can you throw some military installations together? Nothing too detailed, just names and brief descriptions, if possible. And I counted on a chilly welcome, but what sort of action will your people take?

You'd torture embassy staff??? :O Wow, okay, I did not expect that particular problem to be solved so quickly.

Due to my lack of creativity, I have decided to name my military bases after cities, which are named after famous scientists or composers.

So, names: Feynmann, Kelvin, Pascal, Bach, Newton, Darwin, Pachebel, Haydn, Scarlatti, Humanism, Rationality, Vivaldi, etc. I've posted an earlier draft of my map (which I never finished) that contains city locations on the map thread; you can use those if you'd like.

The part of the military that isn't setting up the guerrilla network and bases will probably fight to their last. I would like to note that Science's ideological radicality stat is high in the region; as a result, expect to see many ardent pacifists, as well as transhumanists unwilling to risk their lives, but also those who would be willing to "sacrifice" their lives for the "Scientific cause."

I like Tau's idea of guerrilla warfare. It's like his land was crafted specifically for that purpose. I'm thinking having a resistance cell on every island. What do you think, Tau?
