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.

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?

PM. Definitely PM. I can't use IRC all that often.

How do you guys think the effectiveness of our national security/intelligence agencies should be measured? I'm thinking Safety From Crime, Safety and Law Enforcement are the stats we should be looking at.

I agree, but in that case, your intelligence agency is sub-par ... (except in law enforcement, which really wouldn't be intelligence agencies, but rather military.)

Let's not focus on what makes me weak or strong when considering stats, but rather what makes logical sense to use.

Any other comments? In my mind Law Enforcement would be considered important, as the type of covert work and investigation being done are more in line with regular old law enforcement, and not the military.

I wonder how Safety is determined. Does it purely estimate safety from invasion by an armed force or what?

Probably has an aspect of Defense Forces, Law Enforcement and divided by Population, or something to that effect.
Laurentus, I finished editing. You might want to look at the last post. If we are basing our intelligence agencies on NS Stats, then mine is much stronger than previously anticipated. You might want to protect Maximus.

Well, we're still establishing which stats to use, if any.

Law Enforcement, Safety and Safety From Crime don't quite fit. So what we need to decide is whether we'll be basing it on stats that don't quite work, or whether we'll be leaving this one up to our imaginations.

The thing is that with the military, it's pretty straight forward as Economy, Scientific Advancement and Defence Forces fit 100% to what we're trying to do, but the same can't be done with intelligence forces.

Just why the hell would Maximus enter using his real name? Or his official seal? In fact, why would he enter through official channels at all?

As not to bring attention to himself. You are giving me this. I've just changed all my post to make sense with the storyline. Unless you have a solution.

Maximus is part of a country that has declared war with the Entente. He'd be bleeding mad to enter through official channels. When did I give you this?

EDIT: Note that I'm not just trying to protect Maximus. There are other ways to detect or suspect him, like trying to determine who is the most likely candidate to get sent to Miricano as a Spymaster from Laurentus States. And then going over CCTV footage or something to watch for strange activity, and so forth.

But Maximus wouldn't be stupid enough to get caught in the way you're suggesting there.

Ah. Another stat we could look at (but still doesn't quite fit) is Intelligence.
