| 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. |

So this is the result of a recent Shoutbox conversation with Miri. What are some interesting (and downright disgusting) things you have to eat in your countries? |

On the norm, I often have venison, due to the 1.2 million deer that roam around in Pennsylvania (no I don't hunt). But as a native New Yorker, I love, emphasis on love, a Reuben, hold the Swiss and replace it with Colby Jack with a Hawaiian King's Sweet Bun and for desert, you can't go wrong with a Knish and a soft pretzel.

Any plain old interesting things, then? Here is one of my favourite South African things in the world. Just don't listen to the part where they say it is also acceptable to grill it in a pan or oven. We'll kill someone for doing that too. And here is our entire South African cuisine too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_cuisine |

Don't mention it. About that SA cuisine link, as you can see, it's one with all the cultures' food. What I'm most familiar with are the traditional Afrikaans dishes, along with the Indian ones. All the different cultures in one country can make for some very interesting (and sometimes very, very disgusting) food. |

The only Californian food I can really think of is California Pizza Kitchen, so there's that. My mother's side of the family is good at cooking, and they are from Shanghai/Zhejiang. So basically that food style is sometimes also referred to as Jiangzhe, because of the similarities with Zhejiang and Jiangsu food. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_cuisine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhejiang_cuisine Food

Bacon and cabbage with potatoes is the national dish of Ireland.![]() Beef stew is also another wonderful dinner to have. Not only does it put hairs on yer chesht(thats not a misspelling), it puts hairs in places where there should be no hair.

@Tau, I'm still reading up on the Shanghai cuisine, but one part has already convinced me to spend a year there at some point: "Sweet and sour is a typical Shanghai taste." I'm moving, that's it. @Zander: The Bacon... the bacon... *Chancellor Laurentus Struggles to maintain control of himself while drooling over bacon. *Eventually succeeds, continues typing. The bacon is always delicious, but cabbage and potatoes sound rather plain, no offence. ![]() But you won't find any South African who pulls his nose up at beef stew. And I believe that part about the hair. South Africans are hairy beasts because of all the meat and beef we consume. So continue on with that tradition!
