| 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? |

Frosty, I love the fact that you are finally getting back on the RP horse and you are participating in the OOC Discussion. Not trying to rush you, but the fact of the matter is, a lot is riding on your next response on the RP and we've been waiting for a while. I just hope you post soon. The fate of the world is resting on your shoulders. No pressure. |

Yeah I'm just waiting on a couple of the things I've mentioned being straightened out. I'm still uncomfortable with this woman somehow appearing in what would probably be the most high security building in the world. If Laurentus doesn't want to change it I might have to pull a pretty lame move and have it so she's mistaken some random old government employee dude in an office as Falkenwalde. I guess it could be kind of funny depending on how it's written. |

No, I'll change it. Your earlier message was a bit confusing, as you said you'd let it slide, but later in the same message, you said that you'd put off posting until some things were straightened out. So now that it's clear, I'll change it.

When I said I'd let it slide I meant the quick and easy entry into the country. And cool, thanks. |

So just a few things. Would she be able to get into the country and begin moving about if she went through all the proper channels? Like if she already had a visa and passport, and she landed at the airport, would she be able to move about freely in any part of the main city? Although it would be funny if she mistook some regular old man, perhaps because of her broken German and a misunderstanding with a taxi driver that took her to the building, I don't quite know how free she is to move about.

I have an idea when it comes to the old man thing. Apart from that I'll be happy to leave it as her already having gone through the correct channels in terms of entry into the country. She can move freely but she'll be watched. Perhaps she ends up in the wrong building with the wrong old man, and he's the one who points her in the correct direction which would be towards contacting the office of the Reichsminister des Auswärtigen. Hopefully you'll begin to get a feeling of bureaucracy and overly religious adherence to protocol. Now that you mention taxi drivers, I'd never thought of the Kaiserreich's "taxi drivers" before and it's actually a pretty weird thought . In the old RP I used something I called "hover-carriages" which I imagined as generally automated voice-activated transportation with varying levels of luxury. It would certainly conform to your idea of her rudimentary German taking her to the wrong place.

So should I write the old man's reply, or will you be doing that? |
