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?

No, the hurricane is real. That would just be cruel if I put out a fake hurricane warning.
Ok, I understand. Though, remember. The whole world doesn't know you supplied me those penguins. It would be a shame if those documents were "leaked out" and the whole world would know you are a lowdown dirty man.
Maybe even your tenuous alliance would be in trouble. Just saying.

This I know, but read my earlier posts in the RP. That was a blackmarket deal, so it would definitely cause a scandal, but nothing links the ruling family to it.

I've also stated earlier that Sarilla could well be on her way to level with Falkenwalde. This includes the penguins.

Okay, border-controls are about to be sharpened with tech, so my 304 SA (scientific advancement) score will keep out everyone but Frosty who isn't supposed to be in Laurentus States. I may not have manpower, but my defense systems rock.

Emperor Laurentus is ruthless, but he always has his country's best interests at heart. That means that he doesn't engage in activities that could lead to riots, or political assassinations of his countrymen. He actually does use diplomacy and logic with his countrymen.

Yet he wheels and deals to make the countries around him weaker, manipulating foreign leaders so that he can point a finger and say: "Look at the quality of your current leaders. You'd do much better under Laurentian rule." And so he engineers these conflicts, hoping to inspire the people of every foreign country to overthrow their own governments and become part of his empire. This is definitely mutually beneficial, but still quite an evil practice. He also manipulates these foreign leaders in ways that are less than savoury, but he is careful to manipulate only those who can be manipulated to begin with, like the greedy and ruthless Ramos. He stays well clear from Jarl Aragonn, Colberius, Tau and Falkenwalde, knowing that they aren't inherently evil enough to fall under his "spell," for lack of a better word.

But Ramos's personality is what makes it possible. He's greedy, and ruthless in his own right, and will himself stop at nothing to ensure his Entente completely exceeds any other nation. He doesn't hesitate to execute political rivals, he isn't concerned about his country's stability (as evidenced by his lack of concern over public backlash such as riots), and he doesn't scruple to control Aragonn through a cookie addiction. So while he may not be as cold and calculated as Emperor Laurentus, he is no less evil.

Very well put, Laurentus.

"Look at the quality of your current leaders. You'd do much better under Laurentian rule."
This is what my operatives in Fort Ticon were there to accomplish, and my operatives in Port Alexandria would have gotten there eventually. Replace "Laurentian" with "Colbentiellian," naturally.

You do that sir. You do that.

While Ramos is quite "ruthless" as you say, he does at least have a sense of honor for his country. The man sticks his neck out daily to provide for the needs of Miricano. He's had to deal with budget issues, possible loss of his political office, a freaking hurricane and riots in one of his largest cities.

It seems that Emperor Laurentus cares for his people, but when it comes to the lives of others, there seems to be a disconnect. He has no trouble using other people that aren't his own to get his agenda across. His lack of empathy for the concerns and well-beings for people that aren't his own is quite prevalent. Hell, I need not mention that he took a small child to get the point that no one in Miricano is safe.

See Emperor Laurentus isn't man enough to deal with issues in his country and other countries by himself. No, has has to become the grand puppeteer, using his string to control everyone. And everything will be good, as long as everything follows plan. That's the difference between Ramos and Laurentus. Ramos actually deals with issues headfirst. He has dealt with internal and affairs constantly. Nothing in Laurentus States has happened that has made Laurentus do anything so drastic. Yet, the man went for the child of the Prime Minister first, without consulting any other ideas. If Laurentus will go for a child the first instance there is a problem, what would he do if there was a true national emergency?
Ramos has been pushed to the edge everyday of the RP and unfortunately, he has had to make some tough decisions in his career, in order to ensure he keeps Miricano together.

So no. Ramos is not perfect. But I'd rather live in a country where a man has to make tough decisions during tough times than a country where the first instinct is to go after the most innocent at the first sign of trouble.

A lot of posturing about Ramos's honour, with no actual logical evidence of it. Weak management is what got the Entente in trouble to begin with, along with Ramos's sense of pride.

And Laurentus is very nearly a psychopath, so your criticism that he doesn't deal with things head-first is also baseless. My latest RP post proves it. He doesn't have any fear or remorse, so yes, he's not exactly a paragon, but he really is no better or worse than Ramos. Ramos would destroy Colbentielle and Laurentus States entirely, not caring for the children that would die in such a war, as long as his honour is in tact. Laurentus's approach is more calculated and subtle. Minimum bloodshed, but the bloodshed that does happen is calculated to give the most sting.

My point is I wouldn't want either of them to rule my country, but if I had to choose, I would probably go with Laurentus, since he is far more predictable.

I think I'll stick with Colberius, thank you both very much.

@Laurentus - Did you really mean to say New Hatfield?
