| 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. |

It should preferably be one involved with our region, I'm thinking. |

I will switch Miri for Blueholt then. :/ It was bound to happen eventually. |

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. You could just have railguns, laser/plasma tech and power armour that's just far less advanced than top-tier nations' equivalents, e.g. while power armour produced in Frostmark or Miricano could be sleek, incredibly mobile and efficient (or the strength/power route if we so choose, just an example anyway, I tend to incorporate both into specialised groups with one intermediate "jack of all trades" for standard infantry), your equivalent is more obviously a "new advancement" in the sense of being slower, more clunky, less efficient use of tech vs. space available on the armour, etc. Another example is your lasers could burn out quicker, depleting their power sources, your tech level could just exacerbate typical plasma problems such as being prone to failure, accidental detonation, etc. I mean after all, we would need to consider the fact that you're about three times less advanced than the top-tier bracket, while Colbentielle and RS are about half as advanced. I'd think of it as like the difference between pre-War Fallout level tech (fitting considering they had lasers, plasma weaponry and power armour) vs. stereotypical sleek and refined "alien" type technology as seen in science-fiction (e.g. being advanced enough with microtechnology that it is inexpensive and commonplace enough to actually make being highly artistic in design economical rather than the battle for space efficiency vs size in more basic technology), an easy example from vidja gaems being Halo type shit (I don't like the games at all and tend to detest FPS but the Covenant have a cool aesthetic). The disparity and "unfairness" of this would need to be counteracted intelligently, e.g. through alliances (as I've said all along), kind allies sharing X amount of units, tech deals (e.g. blueprints for teh pussehhh mudafuqa), and a few other means I'd rather keep to myself lest they be used against me, or if I'd need to employ them in a worse-case scenario. |

You know that's pretty much exclusively a sarcastic thing, right? Or is that the point?

I was putting it in a positive context. Will you be posting soon? |

Yeah just doing my map first. I get home from work pretty late and don't have too much spare time. |

Considering that Science would be much less advanced than Miricano or even Blueholt by the NS stats, that just kills the plot line that Miri decided to present to me. |
