| 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.

Now is as good a time as any to come up with a tech level. For obvious reasons, it should somehow be based on our NS scientific advancement rating. I'm thinking every 25 points makes new tech available, so you have the most basic tech at 0 and continue through the ranks of the WH40K system. I'll admit that I'm fairly ignorant of the way the old system worked, so if 25 is too stringent, the number can be adjusted, or we could even let 25 = X, where X is a certain number in WH40K. Furthermore, this is just a suggestion. As our war is about to begin (I think) we need to get this sorted out. |

I'm writing my post now. It's a long one, so it's taking time. It will introduce Sarilla Laurentus, Emperor Laurentus will be a POV character for the first time ever, and we'll see a bit of Maximus too. So be patient. |

That should work out really well for you. I can't wait. And no, that isn't sarcasm. |

I'm confused by what you mean, then. |

Let me put it in no uncertain terms. I welcome you to try and touch Miricano. I will destroy you. There we go. |

That's what I had initially thought. Glad my instincts were correct. |

Regarding this, Miri is right to bring this up as we had a discussion about this last night over TG. I'm not very impressed with how the "espionage" angle has been happening so far in the RP, with spies, informants, and spy tech/bugs just suddenly appearing without their presence being previously declared by the roleplayer utilising them. The culmination being "oh by the way that guy who you bumped into when walking down the hallway [even though no such thing was even mentioned] just happened to be an informant". Also people magically knowing the location of bugs and the convenient "swatting" of the mosquito-spy-thing a post after it was mentioned would usually be considered off, but considering the items in question were suspect anyway I suppose it isn't that important. Player knowledge must never translate into character knowledge. If anyone tries any of this shit against the Kaiserreich I'm immediately going to call bullshit and ignore the post. And if you're taking this "personally" I'll have to piss in your cornflakes and say it's a comment on RP etiquette and isn't aimed at your own character. |

Luckily I take very little personally. Though someone who does might not find that comment about the pissing in cornflakes very funny.

I found the pissing in cornflakes hilarious. And Aragonn just called ARIS a bug. He never specified whether it was a listening device or an insect. |

Oh, please. Why mention it if he doesn't suspect it's an actual listening device. But point taken. I'll be extra careful to actually mention beforehand that my people should be watching hospitals after someone has been poisoned, and admittedly the patient and doctor thing was a bit far-fetched. It was really done more out fun than any serious thought into how likely that is. |

Why mention it? How often do you see an insect in a government building located in the middle of a large city? Here in Richmond, the chances of that happening are next to nothing. |
