| 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. |

![]() Building buildings here Really, something like this should have been made a while ago as the concept was discussed, but it's better late than never. There seems to be an impression at the moment that new tech being developed by your nation for the RP can be kept secret for sudden deployment in a kind of surprise to fellow players, but this isn't how RP works. Why can't I keep my advances secret? Long story short, you could invent something that completely runs contrary to your actual tech level, or something that just isn't actually possible at all. Yes this is technically FT and you can use your imagination but you can't "discover" a method to use rocks and gravel as fuel and power some kind of rock and gravel super laser for example. People must realise the disconnect between OOC and IC. In the same way that knowledge does not flow between them, you can't just spontaneously invent things in-character without expecting someone to call bullshit on the fact that it came out of nowhere and has no proof that it was fair, possible, or actually in development. So now, how will this work? If you want to introduce new tech (e.g. weaponry), you must present your idea here before development actually begins within the RP. The idea should be explained as fully as possible. To keep this fair, the other players will come to a consensus of whether they feel like this research is actually possible both physically and for the nation in question, and how long it will take from beginning to end in real life time (e.g. you cannot announce development of tech and then introduce it to the RP an hour later). What must also be decided are the effects of the tech in some roughly quantifiable way so there is no spontaneous "I shoot my super laser gun over the sea and it hits your country and everyone dies I win hahahahahahaha" moment. When the players have reached a consensus, the player attempting to create the tech must make a post in the RP indicating that development has actually begun. ![]() |

How are we supposed to retcon this month-long plan? |

I'm not sure, but it isn't really my fault that it's taken this long for someone to make this thread. A good start would be to follow the guidelines highlighted in the OP and then we'll go on from there. Maybe being more lenient with the production timescale and not needing an initial confirmation of development post in the RP is something that could happen. I'd like to hear some opinions from the other players who aren't involved in this "plan". |

My idea for a titan is an 18 meter tall drone with twin-linked autorails on the right arm and a plasma thrower in the left arm. |

Because Miricano has not posted the tech he had decided to outsource to Science OOC, I will be posting them now: First off is the Nobelium-253, which I believe we have established has no use. Second is simply a "high-capacity reflector," or really powerful but small mirror. Third is "rubber metal," a strong dilatant that usually moves as a liquid but becomes solid on impact. These three technologies can be seen in Posts #23, #39, and #50. The original telegram from Blueholt to Rationalist Science is dated 63 days ago, or 14 December 2014. |

So am I a go for a force-field around the Laurentian empire? We'd need to to determine who could breach it. |

A force-field over an entire continent? Can you find an example of a similar thing from the Imperium of Man? |

Presumably these are going to be combined or used to do something in particular, and as explained in the OP this is information that needs to be shared. |
