| 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. |

What does Patricianship do? Patricianship First of all, thank you for deciding to become a Patrician. Whatever walk of life you walk, this is a big step for you. Patricianship marks both the beginning of your career, and your willingness to be a more permanent part of our culture, something we appreciate and honor. There are two ways to become a Patrician: the fast track, which involves an application, and the slow track, which involves proving yourself the old fashioned way. The former is faster, but the latter is easier. What Does it Mean to be a Patrician? The first and most obvious benefit of being a Patrician is that you can see most of the forum. Right now, you can only see a small portion of the forum. That amount increases somewhat if you join an Imperial Serivce; but as a Patrician, that amount nearly doubles. As a Patrician, you have certain rights and privileges, but also responsibilities. Rights You have the ability to participate in the Body Republic, our most important ruling body. You are able to take part in the Plebeian-class departments of the Imperial Service without going through the signup process. You are able to take leadership roles in the departments. The Patrician-class departments become available for you to join. You can take in Inquisition cases and screen Patrician-hopefuls in hopes of becoming an Inquisitor. You are free to do anything implied by the tenets of Hyperionism. You have the right to respond in kind to any who insult the empire, or you personally. You are also first in line to receive help from any member of government should you need it. Additionally, the government will do its best to preserve your rights domestically and abroad as appropriate. Responsibilities You are to abide by our laws. You are to follow any direct instructions given to you by the Imperial Council, and by your superiors in whatever department you choose to work. You are to uphold a high standard of respect for others, particularly when dealing with foreigners. You are to maintain a reasonable level of activity on this forum, and try to make at least one non-spam post per day. If you must be absent for a time, you are to report this in the appropriate area. Frequent failure to meet these responsibilities may result in the Body Republic revoking your Patricianship. This is not to punish you, but rather to ensure that the region does not stagnate due to inactivity. The Autarch, Chancellor, High Lords, and other mentors are happy to answer any questions you may have about these responsibilities. The Application As mentioned above, the fast-track application form and instructions can be found here. For up to a 3-5 day period you'll be asked various questions, most of which matter but some of which are just plain silly. The whole exercise is to gauge how active you are. In the meantime, if you have not already done so you can properly introduce yourself in the Low Orbit Welcome Wagon, or leave Synnax and head on down to Kalgan to shoot the breeze in the Round Water Cooler, take part in riveting debates, or... Enter the Darkness. Don't worry about your fellow Hyperians; they look and act scary, but they mean well. ![]() Edited by Aragonn, Mar 5 2015, 03:33 PM.
