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.

Tech levels

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.

And yet every single country on Earth has a black market. So Frostmark could well have provided it through a shady blackmarket deal that has nothing to do with the government. Not likely, but there still exists that possibility. And South America DOES in fact have penguins, as pointed out by Colby. So really, these are poor excuses for magically knowing about it.

EDIT: Australia also has penguins, so even Tau could have supplied these. So that makes 4 potential countries who could have provided them.

While South America and Australia do have penguins, Colby and Tau's tech levels aren't that high, so again, Laurentus States.

These "excuses" are my thought process. Based on the information I have presently, excluding the knowledge on where the penguins actually did come from, I would conclude that the penguins had to have originated from Laurentus States, and since Aragonn has my traits, he would come to the same conclusion. Yes, this would be an assumption on Aragonn's part, but since Ramos doesn't deny it, Aragonn can determine that his guess was right.

If you really had such a problem with this, you should've talked to me about it when I made the post.

My problem is that you're mixing player knowledge with character knowledge, and no small amount of assumptions. I don't believe Ramos ever even mentioned to you that he received penguins. Ramos not commenting on it is not the same as a confession. It's basically the same as saying: "I neither confirm nor deny that."

There is no point in having you change these, as I would have to go and change all those assumptions I made earlier too, and that would take forever. So that's not what annoys me. What annoys me is that you simply don't want to admit you were assuming these things magically because of player knowledge, and instead come up with increasingly ludicrous excuses for your "guesses."

EDIT: Also of note here is that at the beginning, I could've sworn that Tau had a very high SA score with one of his countries. I don't know what happened to it, but you yourself said you remember the same being true.

EDIT 2: No one here would think any less of you if you admitted to these assumptions. In fact, a big part of maturity is being able to admit when one has made a mistake.

I admit to having made assumptions. We're all guilty of that.
