| 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. |

As I'm sure a number of us play video games I thought it would be nice to share our gamer tags in order to consolidate our community and allow us to possibly use this to hold competitions for the region.
Feel free to add me on; PSN - OldMacScanlon Steam - OldMacScanlon |

You know how Zander had to modify the Imperial Council group? That's what I based my group off of when I switched accounts. I fixed it now. |

I wouldn't go that far. Superior maybe but the gap is not that big. |

![]() Yes, the gap temporarily closes a bit more with a new console release but it doesn't last long before that console hardware becomes outdated. |

Games themselves show very little difference despite the upgrades the PC receives and that is my main point. I just see very little point in updating a system when the updates do very little. |

PC devs are actually quite lazy. If you look at a company like Naughty Dog (Uncharted, The Last of Us) you'll see that some console devs optimise their games so much that the game itself looks very close to the best PC has to offer. PC devs could make a game look much more amazing if they actually took the time to do the same. Instead they rely only on brute force to compensate for their lazy programming. This is something I hope will change with the current generation of consoles using PC architecture, instead of completely original designs. But yes, the difference is still substantial in most cases. Not all devs are like Naughty Dog. Compare the Console version of Crysis 1 and 3 to their PC counterparts, and there really is no competition. The PC destroys the console. |

Would it be appropriate to put Skype usernames on here as well? |

It's such a fun game. Though I can never beat the highest scorer "Call Ended" He must have had been amazing at the game. |
