| 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? |

It's Maximus Senior Laurentus who died, and he's emperor Marinia Laurentus's older brother and Maximus's father. When a Laurentus emperor takes the throne, he loses his first name to signify his selfless position as protector of both his family and the empire, as the two are co-dependent. Thus when I'm referring to Laurentus, I'm referring to the emperor, whoever it may be. Right now it's Marinia Laurentus, who was on his way to Miricano with a few jets, before Ramos went full-madman on his ass just now. So now I'm going to see whether he survives this. I'm toying with the idea of letting him die, but on the other hand, I really want to beat Miri's ass into the ground with my tech. ![]() |

I edited my post to fit what Frosty said. Gunnar should now be addressing him properly. |

A foreign head of state would be considered equivalent rank though, right? Edit: In other words, how should Xavier be addressing the Lord Chancellor? Edit 2 (After seeing Laurentus and Miricano's pictures):

I'll write one later that would only address the situation with the jets, as it would be awkward to have to address that later with everything else that's happening, but right now I'm off to class. |

When you aren't addressing him directly you don't need to do that, it just makes the distinction between the Reichskanzler and the Lord Chancellor more confusing. |

It depends, and it's technically not even that simple in real life. When it comes to power, over time this has become an issue made murkier by the law, reality, and tradition. For all intents and purposes the Vasa Family aren't actually more powerful than Falkenwalde as long as standard function of government continues, but as legally his power derives through the Kaiser combined with general tradition developed over time as an empire with a dynastic family, he would publicly acknowledge them as being more powerful. It's kind of a similar issue to modern prime ministers in constitutional monarchies in a sense. How this specifically relates to foreign heads of state is in the same way that a prime minister isn't technically of equivalent rank to a president or foreign king, it isn't automatically safe to assume you can just start a conversation with him calling him by first name. A president or royal may technically be of equivalent rank and be more "safe" if you like. However, particularly in the case of a president, you'd be lacking the "prestige" of dynastic rule from a Frostmarker's point of view, and you may be considered rude to not address him properly. And if you did, you'd be addressed by your preferred way in turn. Considering how Frostmark is essentially at a height in its power at the moment, I'd imagine it would be like a contemporary leader from outside of the British Empire meeting Queen Victoria and being like "yo wassup Vicky". |
