| 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.

Every time I read this, it gets more and more ridiculous. I can't even begin to fathom what all was going on here... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/us/volunteer-deputy-charged-with-manslaughter-after-mistaking-handgun-for-taser.html?_r=0 Edited by Colberius X, Apr 13 2015, 06:51 PM.

It should never be looked at as "just part of the job". Policework is not extra stressful, and you're "more likely to be murdered simply by living in about half of the largest cities in America than you are while working as a police officer." Simple answer is to train your officers better, and if they find the job too stressful then they should retrain or fuck off. Especially if it's "hell" for you. What a ridiculous way of looking at it. American police suck, they lie to the media through their teeth to justify the endemic corruption in the system that has resulted in the deaths of so many innocent people in the last 15 - 20 years. Other Western countries have police forces that manage just fine and can leave a confrontation without killing someone, but only in the US do you find such ridiculous situations as a man being shot for holding an air rifle that was sold in the same shop, or a 12 year old child shot because he was playing with a bb gun in a playground. The US has a shitty police force made even shittier by a culture allowing them to be so freely trigger happy, and made even further shittier by people willing to argue and prostrate themselves on their behalf. And this is only the issue of brutality and murders, never mind false charges, entrapment and planting evidence. There's just so much shit going back so long and nothing has changed. You really need to do a lot more reading around the issue before you jump to defend them because US police suck major dick. Read the statistics, read some recent cases, just educate yourself on the issue. The police do not need defending by white knights who don't really understand the consequences of perpetuating their violent culture, they aren't an oppressed minority. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/10/02/once-again-police-work-is-not-getting-more-dangerous/ http://boingboing.net/2015/04/14/cops-have-killed-way-more-amer.html http://www.mintpressnews.com/us-police-murdered-5000-innocent-civilians-since-911/172029/ http://www.globalresearch.ca/increasing-police-brutality-americans-killed-by-cops-now-outnumber-americans-killed-in-iraq-war/5361554 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/07/police-brutality-new-jersey-report_n_4555166.html http://www.inquisitr.com/1337944/police-brutality-statistics-in-the-united-states-fell-by-60-percent-when-cops-wear-video-cameras/ http://journalistsresource.org/studies/government/criminal-justice/police-reasonable-force-brutality-race-research-review-statistics http://quietmike.org/2014/07/16/police-brutality-statistics/ http://www.policemisconduct.net/statistics/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Timothy_Stansbury http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danziger_Bridge_shootings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Erin_Hamley_shooting_incident http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Johnston_shooting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Michael_Cho http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Amadou_Diallo |
