Aura Hyperia was originally created from the merging of the regions Bloemfontein and A Second Try, and then arose from The United States of Europe. Its former residents have rebranded themselves as the Hyperion Order, and currently reside within New Hyperion.

Founded: 29th October 2014

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?

Do I really have to give Laurentus up to the Kaiserreich? I was growing so fond of him! The man is quite possibly the first full psychopath I've ever created, and his antics are so deliciously evil. :P

Also, just to make the entire thing as interesting as possible, I say we make this wedding as loud and proud as possible! Laurentus will most likely be forced to kill Henrik to try and maintain order of course.

I could write it, but I'm generally not good with the small details that other RP'ers here excel at. I also like the idea that the Markaic invasion would start just as the wedding comes to a close.

I'm just wondering where that leaves Maximus.

To Ara, I'll change that part immediately.

I've decided they'll announce her full title to the world following the ceremony, notably including "Rightful Empress of the Laurentus States" as the cue for troops to begin.

Technically, rather than the traditional name/title Laurentus, would she be Laurenta?

Also, when you say Aragonn, you're talking about the man. The nation is called the Aesir Empire. It's referred to as the Aesir Empire of Aragonn because Aragonn is the Jarl. If someone else were to take the position of Jarl, Brunhilde for example, the nation would then be referred to as the Aesir Empire of Brunhilde.

I should write that in the factbook...
Or you know, if Aragonn had an awesome enough death then there would be reason enough for his inheritors to insist on continuing to refer to the empire as Aragonn :P
It would explain away the fact you can't literally change your nation name anyway.
I was led to believe that we were only using NS stats for this RP, not NS rules as well. And this change of name, if it ever occurs, will only be for this RP and won't carry over to other RPs.

I... hadn't thought about the title, actually. I suppose we could call her Laurenta, but that might go against the Laurentian obsession with equality.

Also, Laurentus States is merely one country in the Laurentian Empire, something I really should try to convey more clearly. It is the seat of the empire, though.

As well, remember in my last post, I stated there are missiles heading for Laurentus' envoy to Colbentielle. I don't how this will be addressed, especially with now a squadron of fighters now escorting the envoy.
Colberius X
 
When Miricano unleashed a second barrage of missiles after the inbound Laurentian craft, who were now being escorted into Colbentiellian airspace by a full wing of Occisus fighters, AEGIS responded immediately. Nearly three dozen Venator Interceptor Missiles rose to meet the Miricanian spread, which, having entered Colbentiellian airspace, could be considered an act of war.


Miricano
 
As well, I like the small touch of the troops on the border peering out. Makes quite the ominous scene and the possibility of burning large swatches of rain-forest that much sweeter.
I thought you might like that.

Taulover
 
So four people went to Darwin, while two remained behind?
Precisely. Given that it's your facility, I would like you to write the post where they actually enter the facility. I figured it would be easier for me to tell you about my operators than for you to tell me about everything they'd encounter and what they'd find. (Plus, this prevents auto-hitting.)

My operators are typical CIA-types, but they're probably a little more compassionate. Their flechette pistols will knock out your men in 15-30 seconds, depending on the proximity of the dart to the brain (neck shots will be common), and your guards will be out for at least half an hour. Give it whatever ridiculous side effects you want for when they wake up. My operators will be trying for maximum effectiveness with minimum permanent injury.

Blackwatch wants visual evidence of whatever they find, but computer files are an even bigger priority. Also, they'd make it look like a robbery and steal some expensive equipment. Feel free to PM me with any other questions you might have, or just ask here.

@ Laurentus - Thanks for having my back. Even if the man responsible for protecting me is a psychopath.

A psychopath who secretly hopes that Ramos destroys you so Laurentus can prove a point to Aragonn, no less. :P

It could go that way, but in all likelihood Laurentus would decide he could turn Aragonn against Ramos and use Aesir as an ally too.

Well I didn't mean so much for this RP, as it's an idea you can use in the future. I can't imagine I'll permanently have my nation leader set as Falkenwalde if the canon RP actually moved forward for example. Just a suggestion.

Well, if it helps, the Kaiserreich has no such obsession. If she's pronounced Laurenta by the herald then she can deal with the intricacies of the title when her throne is secure, would you agree?

Also if that's the case, "Empress of the Laurentian Empire" sounds somewhat awkward. In this context how would you refer to it? Rightful Empress of the Laurentian Territories or some variant thereof?

He doesn't necessarily have to die, I just haven't exactly decided what to do with him afterwards. Permanent imprisonment doesn't seem too viable either, and he probably couldn't exactly be trusted to accept his daughter's ascent and serve as some kind of advisor either. I think the decision may be left up to Sarilla. Maybe she might want a trial?

That would be an interesting development with Henrik also. I'll probably start writing the wedding now, but naturally won't be able to post until I have some more information.

Speaking of which, as I'll need it for my next post:
Alexander

No doubt Sarilla would have informed Falkenwalde of important supporters to subdue and areas to control to force Laurentus into admitting defeat and turning himself in to the Kaiserreich. So do you have anything to say on this?
Do people not read whole comments or something? :D

Hmm. I suppose we could just use Laurentus States, as that still leaves no doubt that she is the empress.

Also, yes, the herald would be forgiven if he he got the smaller details wrong.

And yes, Sarilla would give Falkenwalde any info about top politicians, generals and other influential people who would need to be subdued to drive Laurentus out of hiding. One thing that would be a big help is that General Markus already isn't loyal to Laurentus anymore, and would likely support any claim Sarilla has, especially if she reveals all her father's crimes.
