| 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? |

To determine how many weapons each citizen has? I think that might be too many stats. |

I can think of a way for it to be used. |

You could form a militia or whatever, but it seems like a bit of a cheat if your military is weak, but your gun industry is strong, so I don't think it should be allowed. But sadly my opinion is not the only one that matters.

It literally means how well distributed weapons are among the populace so no. It makes no sense to take it as a military reading otherwise I have the most powerful military but somehow magically no weapons, unless we are to believe that my military is entirely made up of Kryptonians or Z Fighters who just fly around and punch people. Think of it like Britain with an almost complete gun ban besides a small amount for hunting use, while still having the fifth most powerful military in the world. It's apples and oranges. |

I wasn't planning on using it as a military strength, but rather as a defensive strength. Can your citizens defend themselves in the case of an invasion or not? |

I say nay. Although it kinda makes sense in a real-world scenario, even in the real world a country full of guns wouldn't necessarily stand much of a chance against a great concentrated military force. Especially considering that 9 mils mean jackshit against helicopter gunships. |

I think its use makes sense, but only in conjunction with the Pacifism stat. Just to determine the reaction of the general populace to an invasion. Of course, if an invasion happens that results in an occupation, law enforcement and authoritarianism would also have to be looked at. |

They don't need to. And besides, most successful guerilla movements aren't made successful through civilian weaponry and are more supported through theft from looting military equipment and foreign funding. And if we were to use pacifism as how citizens would react as suggested, I have a feeling they'd be more than alright. |
