Aura Hyperia was originally created from the merging of the regions Bloemfontein and A Second Try, and then arose from The United States of Europe. Its former residents have rebranded themselves as the Hyperion Order, and currently reside within New Hyperion.

Founded: 29th October 2014

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.

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?

Is that a dessert? It looks bloody delicious! What's in it?

Yes. It has random stuff in it, like ice (of course), condensed milk, flan, red bean, mung bean, sticky rice ball thingies, and other stuff.

@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?
Where I live, summer temperatures are around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The statewide and NYC averages are a couple degrees warmer.

You imagine correctly.

Those are actually nice temperatures. Pretoria, where I live, isn't close to the hottest part of the country, and yet we aren't overly surprised to experience a 38 degree Celsius day every other month or so in the summer, particularly in February.

Some people genuinely thrive in that heat, but I'm not one of them.

Well in New York City, when it gets 83 (air temperature wise) it feels almost 86 or 87 because of all the concrete. People turn on their air conditioners as soon as it hits 85, thus putting a strain on the electrical system. Too many a blackout has been caused by medium temperatures exasperated by tons of concrete and millions of people.

Ewww. Celsius!
I kid of course, but I still haven't figured out a general rule to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Any helpful hints?
And 38 Celsius. Um no thank you whatsoever. Although I don't have to worry about sunburn so much as other people and I love to have fun with friends outside, there is a point where I just say no. Now when it is 38C down there, is it also often humid or is it dry air. If it is dry air, I still would have a bit of a problem, but no where near as humid 38C.

Fahrenheit is inferior.
Don't know if you can tell or anything but I'm not really a fan of hot weather at all :P

No not at all. The name Frostmark and being based in Antarctica screamed warm weather and sandy beaches to me. ;)

Pretoria is mostly dry, but we do have some humid days. Generally, when it gets very hot, we expect a severe storm to come eventually, so the heat doesn't last as long as some places further north in the country. And yes, unfortunately these temperatures tend to also be higher because we too are in a city.

But the reason I actually brought up temperatures is because I wanted to see if it has an influence on what people eat and how they prepare their food.

Two words. Italian Ices. I use to live on those things, and still do, when it it hot. The Bubblegum or Rainbow flavors were my favorite. In my opinion, they were so much better than snow cones (bleh).
