| 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.

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

Yes. That thing was painful. I never thought I'd find myself feeling sorry for any of the nazis. |

It's easy to hate someone when you don't know them personally. |

I've never hated the nazis. I hated their ideals, but not the people themselves. That said, I definitely didn't sympathise with them in history. I think that's the point of these types of movies. |

When I read the average Frostmarker's words, should I imagine them as having a German accent attached to them? |

"34.5%" of Frostmarkers speak English as a first language, but from mingling I'd imagine it would be at least somewhat influenced. |

Yeah, I think it would undergo a slight alteration on both sides. Living proof of this is actually found in South Africa. Our English sounds a bit Afrikaans, and our Afrikaans is starting to be influenced by English a bit too. So I'll keep that in mind with Frostmarkers. Of course, this would be dependant on how long these two languages have co-existed in Frostmark, as it takes awhile. Edited by Laurentus, Dec 21 2014, 05:51 PM.

For this RP it might make more sense for it to have been several hundred years, in my official canon it would have been closer to several thousand. There would also be a small Scandinavian (13.4%) and Dutch (8.6%) influence on colloquial language. Edited by Alexander, Dec 21 2014, 05:06 PM.

I don't know what Scandinavian sounds like, but the small percentage of Dutch would likely mean very little alteration. German might actually completely absorb Dutch after a while, considering how close they sound. If you had a few Frenchies, about 30% Dutch, 30% German and 18% English, you might even have had naturally occurring Afrikaans. ![]() There is actually a form of German called Plattdeutsch that sounds almost exactly like Afrikaans, even more so to my ears than Dutch.

I think I mentioned somewhere recently that the government were entertaining the idea of discouraging the use of Dutch anyway as it's becoming a bit pointless in terms of recognition. I'm aware that to native German speakers Dutch just sounds like German spoken while incredibly drunk. I think it's also the closest language to English after Frisian. Never the French, please! (Just kidding )Yeah I've heard of it. |
