| 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. |

http://www.joe.ie/life-style/pic-the-best-tweets-after-the-news-that-ecstasy-ketamine-and-crystal-meth-are-temporarily-legal/487814 ''In the Court of Appeal this morning, a ruling on the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 effectively means that certain drugs that were previously declared to be illegal are currently legal. A number of banned drugs including ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth are now legal.'' Well time to take advantage of this great occasion before parliament re-illegalises it tonight. |

That was actually something we had on our old forum... I don't know why I wouldn't have transferred that when I made Kalgan here. Must have forgotten. |

I have a feeling I know more about the situation than you think I do. I'm aware that being a white farmer in South Africa is technically the most dangerous job with the highest mortality rate to individual number in the world (made particularly famous when Terre'Blanche was murdered), and have been watching their Stage 6 genocide of whites for a while. Also if we want to get technical the Bantu aren't even native to South Africa and migrated there at some point also, after amusingly enough having contributed to the killing of the actual Bushmen natives who are now practically extinct. Then there's the fact that Afrikaners have existed as a distinct group for longer than Zulus. The ANC just appeals to the whole "Africa = black" misconception and there's nobody with enough of a voice or disregard for personal safety to challenge it. A part of me wants to tell you not to leave, and to try and change things, which is typically my viewpoint towards the inhabitants of poorer and more dangerous countries (as immigrating to resolve these issues is mathematically not a viable resolution). However, being white in South Africa is different and downright dangerous these days. Personally if I was going to move somewhere, it might be somewhat obvious but I'd say Germany is one of the best options. I really think there needs to be some serious movement towards the Volkstaat, because it's probably the only viable solution. I don't think much will come of the likes of Orania, and it makes me laugh that there is already a significant black minority there. Still better you than me

The idea of a volkstaat might certainly be the only realistic option, but I really have no problem with any other race. I want to live in a place with far less instances of racism, and while I'm aware that there is no place on earth without racism, SA is particularly hopeless, based on centuries of evidence. Indeed that's my view of Africa as a whole, and the clash of religions is a big part of the problem. But I no longer have any realistic hope that Africa will ever improve. There's always been shit in Africa, and there will always be. It will take a better, smarter and more patient man than I to resolve this shit. Germany would have been my first choice, as I speak it fluently because my mother and her entire side of the family is German, but that entire situation with Ukraine and Russia is a bit dodgy, and Germany is a bit too close for comfort. About that situation, I really find Obama and the British PM's reactions laughable, and I see straight through their propaganda, but I don't like Putin much either, although I must say I have a grudging respect for the man. Obama is just about the least trustworthy world leader in my opinion. And America's history of bullying weak countries for their own gain in subtle ways pisses me off The UK and Australia are merely possibilities because of the fairly large number of South Africans who now call it home, but I just can't deal with the weather in England or the Australians as people. ![]() Therefore a low-key, somewhat indifferent and isolationist nation like Canada, where some South Africans are located, might be what I'm looking for. I'd just have to adjust to the law system they use, as South Africa uses the Roman-Dutch system with some English influences and a few modifications. @Stalintha, NO! Frosty destroys me in arguments seven times out of ten. Though I give him a run for his money until I actually have to start doing research and using definitions, which I'm just too lazy for.

No Miri, I'd never do meth or any of that shite. Weed is about the only illegal thing I've had and it did sweet fuck all to me(probably due to a high tolerance because the two friends I was with at the time were laughing there heads off at the stupidest things). If I'm going to be pumping a lot of dangerous chemicals into my body for a lot of money I expect to gain superpowers. I have better things to spend my money on such as food. |
