| 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. |

Where we can have fist fights over who deserves the iron throne, who may become dragon feed, and how much none of this matters with winter having arrived and death bearing down on everyone while they fight their petty battles against the living. No book spoilers, please. Those can be discussed in a separate topic where we look at theories from the books and series alike. |

For the Watch, Jon. For the Watch. There are many book spoilers that could thoroughly ruin it for viewers of the show. For instance, if I begin talking about a particular grave digger at a temple Brienne visits, I'll spoil the fate of one of Game of Thrones's most tragic characters. |

How is that even nearly half full? Ned -- Super dead thanks to our Late king, Joffery Catelyn -- Left at the Twins with an open neck Robb -- Ultra Dead thanks to Lord Walder Frey Jon -- Fuck Olly Sansa -- Jumped off a castle wall with Theon, because that was smart. Arya -- Ahh.. MY EYES! Bran -- Going on an adventure with Hodor and pals Rickon -- um.... what? Edited by Miricano, Jun 17 2015, 10:27 AM.
