| 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? |

Images These are just some of the things I can think of right now. As you can all see, our food is rather simple. I suppose that tradition started because of how wild and unforgiving the country was up to even 150 years ago, and our fires were the only thing standing between us and wild animals. We probably couldn't have afforded to waste time, as the fire wouldn't last forever. At any rate, we prefer to do almost everything outdoors. I suppose one reason would be our rather high temperatures during the summer months. We really don't want to heat up the house more by spending hours cooking indoors. What are some drinks your countries are known for? I believe the Irish have something called Kilkenny, right Zander? Edited by Laurentus, Dec 22 2014, 01:13 AM.

In Brooklyn, I use to drink egg creams. Seltzer water, lots of chocolate syrup, ice cream, milk and when I wanted it, whipped cream and a pretzel stick on the side. Delicious for those hot New York summer days. Egg cream

On average, how hot does New York get in its hottest months? |

@Laurentus - The city or the state? This is a popular meal that was created here in Rochester. Hot dogs or hamburgers with fries, coleslaw, beans, onions, meat sauce, etc. Top with ketchup, mustard, or barbecue to taste. Nick Tahou's had the original "garbage plate," but other restaurants have adopted variations of it, with the only real difference being in the meat sauce. I've never had one I didn't like. Garbage Plate

@Tau: Is that a dessert? It looks bloody delicious! What's in it? @Colby: I'd imagine the city itself is a bit warmer because of its construction materials, especially during the night, but across the state, what are the average temperatures in the warmest months? And that Garbage Plate looks damn delicious. I'd imagine you can order it with extremely hot chilli sauce? |

Well I can see why it's called a garbage plate, it looks like someone took a shit on a pile of sick. I'm sure it tastes lovely however. |
